I may be a fashion editor, but I’m more than willing to admit I spend more than 50% of my time these days wearing leggings. I’d like to say it’s a hangover from the pandemic and the introduction of more working from home, but, honestly, I’ve long been a fan. Which means I’m always on the lookout for ways to make leggings look particularly cool, fresh or at the very least acceptable to wear out of the house.
One item in particular I’ve been wearing (yes, on repeat) with my trusty lululemons recently is the FP Movement Hit the Slopes fleece. Honestly, I’m not really sure what I wore before I discovered the cosy jumper at the end of last year. And with 2023 serving mostly cold, grey days so far, this easy but acceptable-for-errands outfit has become my morning go to.
You can imagine my delight, then, when on a recent celebrity image deep dive I discovered supermodel Kaia Gerber in none other than this exact outfit (let’s not talk about who wore it better, shall we?) Not only did Kaia forgo her usual top-to-toe Celine wardrobe for the FP Movement Hit the Slopes Fleece once, or even twice—she’s been spotted in this winning fleece and leggings combo on so many occasions in recent months, it’s hard to count. She loves the jacket so much, she even has it in multiple colours. Whether she’s running to the supermarket, on her way to the gym or grabbing a smoothie, clearly this is Kaia’s favourite wardrobe piece to turn to on busy mornings as well.
Kaia has switched between wearing her fleece and leggings with Nike Training Free Metcon 4 Trainers, classic Birkenstocks and, of course, her trusty UGG boots, depending on the occasion. Often adding an elevated accessory like a chic pair of sunglasses or leather shoulder bag to elevate the look. Whichever way you swing it, Kaia is proving this cosy fleece is an excellent investment when you consider the cost per wear.
Keep scrolling to shop the cult fleece in both the jacket and pullover versions in Kaia’s (and my) favourite colours, as well as some hero pieces to wear with it. Then, thank me later.
