Fleece Faves for Cold Classrooms & Campuses

Fleece Faves for Cold Classrooms & Campuses

Aug 30, 2021

The first weeks of fall semester classes are boiling hot in many places, especially in the southeast where summer temperatures persist through mid-October most years. While it may seem silly to arm yourself with fleece apparel when it’s 95 degrees outside, the second you walk into your first classroom or lecture hall and you’re met with the arctic force blast of icy air that’s keeping the student-filled space cool, you will be glad to have your favorite fleece hoodie stuffed in your pack.

This back-to-school season, outfit yourself in the latest in comfy cozy tech and apparel from Nike’s Tech Fleece collection, The North Face fleece hoodies and pullovers, joggers and sweats from Champion, Timberland, Puma and more, available online and in-stores at Hibbett | City Gear.

Fleece Fits For Him

One of the greatest things about cooler weather, or in this case cold classrooms and campuses, is layering. On warm early September days, you can dress out in a pair of fashionable denim pants from Grindhouse or Smoke Rise topped off with a casual L.O.V.E. Apparel tee or a long sleeve Puma Hoops shirt overlaid by a Puma drawstring hoodie. For something a little more rugged, suit up toe to head in a pair of classic Timberland Wheet 6″ Boots with some Timberland fleece pants and a matching Timberland pullover.

Looking for fall fleece that’s sleek in style and lightweight, yet still warm? We recommend Nike Tech Fleece pullovers and zip-up jackets. The Tech Fleece line is made with double-sided spacer fabric to provide an extra layer of warmth WITHOUT added weight or bulk. Pair your Tech Fleece hoodies and jackets with Nike sweat shorts or jeans, or wear a full Tech Fleece fit, pairing your hoodie or pullover with a pair of Sportwear Tech Fleece joggers.

Fleece Faves for Her

You don’t have to be on Alabama Rush Tok to understand on-campus style. Back in the day, women had to get up, spray their hair with a full can of Rave hair spray, layer on their tights, athletic shorts, leg warmers, tank and oversized collared shirt all before grabbing their custom jean jacket and darting off to class.

Thankfully, campus couture is a little more relaxed these days. In fact, most college kids stopped dressing in more than their PJs for class after their freshman year. Well, that might be an exaggeration, but you get that in college, comfort is queen. That’s why we recommend you stock up on the season’s most stylish fleece fashions from Champion, The North Face, adidas and more.

When the temps cool off on the quad (or just in the library), add an extra layer to your look with a TKA Kataka ¼ Zip Fleece hoodie from The North Face and a pair of timeless UGG Classic sherpa-lined boots. Keep things colorful with a cropped crewneck fleece sweatshirt from adidas and coordinating fleece track pants, or keep the chill at bay with an ultra-comfortable, relaxed fit Champion fleece pullover and matching Champion leggings.
