The fleece vest craze

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

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 👍

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

[@12823matthewkao]

not as baggy as jackets and also keeps you warm.

Who’s buying vests in Texas? Seems unnecessary.

[@nimaiiikun]

probably necessary now!

[@Eyetrauma]

@@nimaiiikun lol got this recommended too huh? 😊

[@chocolatechipslime]

You’d be surprised, so many of the country dressing truck driving guys with the mesh ball caps wear them. They all dress the same. I never understood the purpose of a vest though and I’m from the country.

[@Murtagh653]

@@chocolatechipslime the purpose of vests is to keep a little warmth, or provide a small amount of wind protection in climates that aren't entirely cold but not entirely hot either. once you start walking around or working, a jacket can get too hot, while a shirt by itself is too cold, so that is where a vest is useful. it's also useful for the pockets in warmer weather if you don't want to wear a backpack and it's too hot for a jacket.

[@mahdireza5695]

No seriously, men look hot imo when they wear fleeces.

this is sooo bro

[@profd65]

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.

[@pearljam_1]

Bro you are way too mad about this.

[@davontawilliams3958]

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

[@mattboh69]

it’s more casual than a suit but not as casual as a hoodie

[@WiseAilbhean]

part of a club people are people

[@mahdireza5695]

Not to be that person but..... 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!!
