If You Don't Think Your Outfit Will Look Cute With a Fleece, Reformation's Gonna Make You Reconsider

I spent many of my early postcollege days refining my outerwear wardrobe, which mostly meant shelving bulky fleeces and jackets and investing in a sleek coat I could wear to the office and over cocktail dresses. Never had I thought to style my on-trend denim with the Patagonia I hoarded during my college years in the Northeast — enter Reformation. The eco-conscious label that's best known for its serious cool factor and must-have dresses just put Patagonia on every fashion girl's radar, thanks to its newest partnership, selling the brand it proclaimed the "Sustainability Guru" in a press release about the collaboration.

Offering a curated selection of Patagonia's zip-up fleeces, puffers, and even leggings, Reformation may just single-handedly make wearing your fleece as cool as it was in college. Only this time around, look to the brand's effortless styling for cues, like adding a textured tan zip-up to cropped jeans and throwing on a chic handbag for good measure. Consider this the grown-up way to wear your puffer that's as fashion-conscious as it is functional.
