I bought my 10 year of DD a North Face fleece, and I am jealous of how cozy it is :). I'd like a fleece for me, but something cute, with some shape to it. Do you have a fleece you love? Tell me about it!

I am obsessed with the Patagonia Better Sweater in either coat or jacket form. Warm and cozy in the jacket version, dressier and comfy in the coat version.

I have this one from Columbia and love it. http://www.columbia.com/Women%E2%80%99s-Benton-Springs%E2%84%A2-Long-Hoodie/WL6108,default,pd.html
It's fitted through the waist and comes down to my hips. It's very flattering on and looks much nicer than a typical fleece (which is what I'm usually wearing).

I love my mountain hardware fleece jacket. Instead of black, I got a hot pink color. Its so soft and the color brightens my mood. There are too many black north face fleece jackets out there.

You know what? I have a NF fleece jacket that I thought I would love and I never use. What I do use constantly is the LLBean Birch Point Fleece Coat. It is baggy but so warm and I like that I can even wear it with leggings and knee high riding boots because it's long enough. I don't see it on their website anymore but it looks similar to this one:

I just bought a bright blue Calvin Klein fleece at TJ Maxx for $30 that I'm loving. It's warm, can fit a sweater under it, but has some style. But now that I'm looking around, I think that Columbia one mentioned above looks great!

I have an Athleta one from a few years ago very similar to this:

I saw this one in-store yesterday and it was very cute. Loved it in the teal color.

The Patagonia Better Sweater Jacket is very cozy. And comes in teal.

I love my Mountain Hardwear fleece! Mine are 2 years old. I think one was a pyxis and one was a monkey fleece.

I just got this one today: http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-polartec-aircore-200-pea-coat/id_258749

It gives just enough shape to not look like a typical fleece jacket.

I have the Patagonia Better Sweater fleece coat, and wore it tons last season. It was warm and cozy, and looks put together yet casual.


i just bought this LE one:

It is warm and cozy. More casual than the Better Sweater. The Better Sweater is similar to the LLB one Arrivecchi posted.

I have the LE one in my shopping cart! What color did you get? I can't decide whether to go more neutral with grey or fun with the purple.

The dark wine. It's lovely. Purple is my favorite color. :). I recommend it. I like the longer length and drawstring waist.

Look at Title Nine. They pick their stuff from a lot of well-known places (Prana, Patagonia, etc), and the buyers have the greatest taste in terms of what's flattering. They also have their own line, although I've never bought any of it.

I just got this and unfortunately, it's a no go. Definitely warm and snuggly, just not that flattering. It's kind of like wearing a heavy blanket.

I bought this same style coat about 2 years ago (maybe 3) from LE and it is one of my favorites ever. It is very warm and looks stylish too. I might be tempted to buy that new version...I just got the catalog today!

I also like the one Twinfoxes linked.

I just got this Athleta fleece and I can't say enough great things about it. It's very warm (wore it in 48 degrees) and flattering.

I got the eddie bauer verision of the better sweater (called sweater fleece jacket) and love it! I got boring gray :) . It fits very nicely. And 20% free ship/returns if you order by tomorrow at least one outerwear item!
I picked it over the better sweater because it ended up being about half the price with the code.

Another vote for the Patagonia better sweater! Its warm, washes well, and has a very flattering fit. I get compliments all the time.

This is a cute fleece pea coat! I am debating on getting it. I'm just worried that it will make my 5 foot frame look squat.

^^ I love, love, love it. I've been wearing it daily! Do you have a Sears nearby where you could try it on?

I went to sears today to check out the wall ovens on sale, and I remembered to try on the fleece pea coat. I LOVE it!! It was fitted and not baggy or boxy at all. Unfortunately, I did not buy it though because I didn't want to pay full price. :( I guess I have to wait for the next promotion!

My sears had only the red and black in stock (at least at the petites section). The red was really nice! Which color did you buy?

Mine is black. Today I discovered it even fits over a suit jacket!

That's awesome! I really liked that it had lined sleeves so that it is easy to take on and off.
