3 TIPS FOR BUYING THE PERFECT FLEECE THIS FALL:

1. Fleece sweaters and pullovers are not something you want to cut corners on. By spending a little more money on a quality fleece, you will have a quality piece that will last you for years, without pilling or shedding.
2. When shopping for a fleece, look for easily matched colors and timeless patterns. If you’re buying a fleece and hoping it will last you for years, you don’t want to purchase one that will be out of style by next year.
3. Grab both your normal size and a size up when trying on a fleece. Sometimes going up a size can give you a little extra room to layer underneath without compromising your look.

 

PULLOVERS

When choosing the perfect pullover, you want to make sure that the fit is perfect for both lightweight or heavy layering. Leaving room for layering helps make sure that your new fleece is also the perfect addition to your skiing wardrobe. The last thing you want is too little room for extra clothes underneath. Throw on a beanie and some cute sunglasses for a casual fall look.
