Fleece is the uniform while we navigate ourselves

Marc Levy Tim Cormier wears his Patagonia Fleece to record in Cambridge Bubble Tea on Friday.

If you live in New England and don't have at least one fleece, are you a new English at all? Regardless of whether a vest, a long sleeve, a zipper or a hoodie-es is an essential component, without discrimination between the styles. Between the seasons they come onto the streets. Recently it has felt like an unspoken uniform in Cambridge and Somerville. Maybe I've missed it in recent years, but the mere variety is now overwhelming, with every color, every pattern and every brands that you can imagine. The three-quarters of Styles seem to dominate, but everyone really grabs their staple in New England when we enter another false spring.

At the end of last year, the fleece made its way to High Fashion when Miu Miu sold a version that was sold as a Krupped sweatshirt with the name Cropped Sweatshirt, for 2,150 US dollars, a natural development for high fashion after it dealt with athleisors.

When I wear my wearing, it's not about looks, it's about comfort. I go quite confidently, although I know that I look like a sheep because my fleece vest is lined with Sherpa on the outside. For each your own.
