How to Bring Fleece Options into the Office
Offices are often notorious for being absolutely freezing, whether the AC is on full blast during the summer or there’s a chill that creeps in during winter. While some believe that feeling cold makes you more focused and work harder, it’s difficult to imagine being super productive when you can’t feel your feet. But staying warm and cozy while still looking professional and stylish can sometimes feel challenging. If you work in a freezing office, then you know that cardigan you keep on the back of your office chair just isn’t going to cut it. Step up your game with some cozy yet professional fleece wardrobe options for the office.
FLEECE BLANKETS
Fleece blankets are an easy fleece option to bring into the office to keep you warm during those freezing workdays. Lightweight, compact, and easy to carry, you can carry a fleece blanket to the office in acustomizable tote, which can also be used for storing your fleece blanket. Use the blanket to cover your legs and feet, wrap around your shoulders like a shawl, or even wrap around your waist like a skirt to keep your extremities warm. Fleece blankets can also make great neck support or cushion to sit on or place behind your back for those long hours at the desk. Carry it back and forth in your tote bag, or designate a fleece blanket just for stowing at the office.
FLEECE JACKET
Make a fleece jacket part of your office uniform. Whether or not your office dress code includes a uniform, branded fleece jackets are the perfect way to stay warm and on-brand. If you are a team leader or manager, take the initiative to get some branded fleece jackets made for your staff to wear in or out of the office. Fleece jackets not only keep employees warm at work but are also a great throw-on jacket to wear while out and about to increase brand awareness and recognition.
Aside from branded fleece, you can simply wear your own fleece jacket to work to zip up when you’re cold. For a more professional look, choose a fleece jacket that is more fitted and in a neutral hue.
FLEECE VEST
Fleece vests are a wonderfully easy way to warm up in just about any circumstance. Easy to wear and wonderfully insulating for your torso, fleece vests are definitely an all-around favorite. Because fleece vests have less fabric involved, they can be worn in a way that is more subtle and therefore more appropriate for the office.
Perhaps a fleece custom uniform work vest is already part of yourcompany uniform, but if not, you can still layer it under a blazer, cardigan, sweater, or jacket for an added layer of warmth while you’re sitting at your desk and doing your work. Choose a well-fitted vest in a neutral or dark hue so that it blends in more and looks more professional.
FLEECE PULL-OVER
Another great option for the cold office is a fleece pullover. Much like a fleece sweatshirt, these pullovers are a great staple to have on hand for those moments you need some extra warmth during the long workday. The 100 Thermacheck is the Lands’ End answer to a fleece pull-over that can be customized for your company or business. If this look is appropriate for your office dress code, then it’s a great way to add an extra layer of warmth to your office look. Otherwise, explore custom-made company fleece pullovers as branded pieces that can be added to your company’s uniform look.
FLEECE HATS, GLOVES, AND SCARVES
When all else fails, keeping a stash of fleece winter accessories at the office is a great way to layer up when the temperatures drop. It’s easy for hands and fingers to get cold at the keyboard, but with a pair of fleece gloves, you can be sure your hands stay cozy. Choose the option that works best for you, including full gloves, fingerless gloves, or fleece gloves with removable fingers. Fleececompany hatsare another great option for an on-brand winter accessory to wear in a cold office. A fleece neck warmer can also be worn subtly on your neck or around your head to keep ears and the sensitive neck area warm. Fleece scarves are another great accessory that is stylish, professional, and can easily be worn with any professional outfit.
FLEECE OFFICE CHAIR COVER
Last but not least, you could try a slip-on fleece chair cover on your office chair. This is a wonderfully discrete and cozy way to feel comfortable while at your desk. While it doesn’t offer the same coverage as a blanket, sweatshirt, or vest, it does offer added insulation around you to help keep you warm in a cold office.
If your office runs cold, don’t let that stop you from getting your best work done. Bring these fleece options into the workspace to help keep you warm yet still looking professional on those icy workdays.
