The fleece vest craze

Fleece vest sales are taking off and retailers are crediting finance and tech bros for the boom.

This is closest to being an Onion sketch but not being an Onion sketch.

I’ve been rocking a fleece vest while working finance in battery park city (not Goldman, ironically) since 2011. It hides my gut and ensures my pant pockets don’t puff out with keys, phone, cigs, lighter, etc.

It's tapered, hides your muffin tucked in shirt, and stores items you would have normally put in your pockets 👍

not as baggy as jackets and also keeps you warm.

I wore a XXL of these 2 decades ago as a highschooler

Why do they wear that ? Is it like dress code ?

I'm so fucking sick of hearing about New York. I click on a story about tech bros and their fleece vests, and I think of people in Silicon Valley or Seattle, but no because it's CNBC New York has to be shoehorned into the story and "New York" has to be mentioned twelve times.

Not to be that person fleece vests are kinda hot 😏 same with fleece jackets too. my boyfriend wears them sometimes and his body looks even more muscular because it brings out his broad shoulders and muscular arms yet it somewhat makes him appear more soft and cuter. It's also nice for cuddling on the couch on a cold day because it's soft, fuzzy and warm. Yh any couples out there, i recommend this!!
