With fall well underway, early mornings are cold and days are chilly.

While you might be able to get away with wearing short sleeves indoors, you're definitely going to need a warm jacket when you step outside.

Finding a warm jacket isn't hard, but if you're looking for something that's warm and not too bulky, a fleece is one of the best ways to go.

Typically made out of polyester, fleece jackets are well insulated without the bulk of a heavy down-filled coat.

Whether you're runner who needs to stay warm and light on early morning jogs, or a commuter who needs a jacket that can be packed away, fleeces are ideal.

Brands like The North Face, Patagonia, Uniqlo and more all have options that will keep you warm, comfortable and stylish. Choose between traditional zip-ups, hoodies, and even bombers.
