Women's Plus Size Fleece Outerwear

From plush jackets to sweeping capes and zippered hoodies to versatile vests, women’s plus size fleece outerwear is fashionable, functional and flattering.

Although fleece refers to fabric that is either natural or synthetic, the outerwear discussed in this article are all made of the synthetic variety. Natural fleece is made from sheep’s wool, while synthetic fleece is a manmade product made from polyethylene terephthalate, more commonly known as plastic.

Known for its incredible softness, warmth and durability, synthetic fleece fabrics are lightweight and comfortable. The fuzzy feel and look of fleece is the result of the knitted fabric being brushed until some of the fibers loosen. In addition to being lightweight, fleece also sheds water, wicks moisture and is breathable.

Whether you love the classic look of a figure-flattering fleece Traveler’s Coat or a beautifully detailed 3/4 length fleece jacket with an attached hood, there are many styles to keep you warm throughout all the seasons.

Plus size fleece coats are available in trendy styles that skim your curves and accentuate your best features. When choosing a coat, look for details that are flattering such as shawl collars, V-neck shapes and interesting button closures with toggles or big buttons.
