Most of the time I like to think of myself as a fairly independent person, which also applies to my fashion choices. Rather than going with each of the latest trends of the season, I tend to choose only the ones that will suit my existing wardrobe and my personal style.
However, in a rare turn of events, I recently found myself lusting over a colorful Free People fleece jacket that has been spotted on a multitude of prominent celebrities.
A favorite among models like Hailey Bieber and Kaia Gerber (even in the 7 Days video, 7 Gerber Looks for Vogue), the Hit The Slopes fleece jacket definitely departs from my usual fashion choices.
$ 189 CAD / $ 148 USD at Free People
Unlike my collection of clothes in mostly clean silhouettes and neutral color palettes, I found myself drawn to the oversized fleece jacket in a neon shade of tropical pink when I found it in my second-hand size. I decided to pull the trigger and considered it a fun fashion experience.
First impressions
First of all, this fleece jacket is extremely comfortable and super soft, making it a perfect choice to take on a recent camping and road trip to Prince Edward County. Light enough to stay in my backpack but warm enough to withstand the early morning cold, I found myself searching for it almost every day of my trip.
At first I was worried that the color was too strong, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the hot pink hue added a fun touch to my mostly blue, black and white wardrobe. I might have received a few funny looks from people on the street, but I also received my fair share of compliments from other fans of the jacket’s hot pink hue.
It was also a functional choice to have with me on the go, as the jacket has so many handy pockets. The zippered front pockets were large enough to hold my cell phone, wallet, keys and sunglasses without worrying about them falling out, while the smaller chest pocket is perfectly sized to store a face mask.
What others say
Besides being a hit among celebrities, the Hit The Slopes fleece jacket is also a favorite among Free People shoppers. So far, it has earned a 4.5 star rating on over 130 customer reviews and more.
“It’s the most comfortable thing I have ever owned!” Big plus, it’s so easy to style and the color is just so beautiful! Especially in love with all these pockets, â€said one reviewer.
“I love this jacket, but I was secretly hoping I wouldn’t so I could return it.” Once I tried it I couldn’t give it up. It’s lightweight with lots of pockets and just the right length for high waisted pants, â€shared another.
Many buyers have noticed that this jacket sizes slightly large, so if you prefer a more fitted look, you will want to reduce the size before purchasing.
“Obsessed with this jacket. I wasn’t sure which size to choose (S or M), I’m 5’7,135 pounds and decided to go with the little one. The midrange also looked great, but a bit too oversized because the style of the jacket is already oversized, â€revealed a reviewer.
I agree with the reviews that you can definitely get by a size down as I bought my jacket in an XS rather than my usual size small and was always able to layer it over a sweatshirt- shirt if necessary.
Since this jacket is available in many different colors and patterns, you can find one to suit any style, just in time for fall.
