What is a colour block fleece?
A colour block fleece is a fleece that features two or more contrasting colours arranged in distinct panels or sections.
Inspired by classic outdoor clothing and retro fashion, colour block fleeces combine the warmth and comfort of fleece fabric with bold, eye-catching designs.
They're a great choice for anyone looking to add personality to their everyday wardrobe.
Are colour block fleeces still in fashion?
Colour blocking remains a popular design feature in casual clothing, outdoor fashion and retro-inspired streetwear.
With their bold colour combinations and relaxed styling, colour block fleeces are an easy way to create a distinctive outfit without compromising on comfort.
Pair a colourful fleece with neutral trousers or jeans to let the contrasting colours stand out.
What is the difference between a colour block fleece and a regular fleece?
The main difference is the design rather than the fabric itself.
Colour Block Fleeces feature contrasting panels of colour, often inspired by vintage outdoor clothing and 90s fashion.
Regular Fleeces can feature a wider range of designs, including single-colour styles, textured Borg fleeces and simple everyday layers.
Both offer comfortable warmth, but colour block fleeces are ideal for anyone looking for something a little more distinctive.
Are OutsideIn colour block fleeces unisex?
OutsideIn offers a range of colour block fleeces, including unisex and women's styles.
From relaxed retro-inspired designs to practical everyday layers, there are plenty of options to explore.
We recommend checking individual product descriptions and size guides to find your preferred fit.
What is a Band Fleece?
A Band Fleece is one of OutsideIn's signature designs, recognised by its horizontal colour-block band across the chest.
The distinctive design combines retro-inspired styling with the comfort of traditional fleece fabric, making it a versatile layer for everyday wear.

What is a Wave Fleece?
A Wave Fleece features distinctive curved colour-block detailing that creates a flowing design across the garment.
OutsideIn's Wave Fleeces combine colourful panels with comfortable fleece fabric, offering a fresh take on classic outdoor-inspired clothing.
They're a great choice if you prefer a statement fleece with a unique design.
Are colour block fleeces suitable for outdoor activities?
Yes. Colour block fleeces are comfortable layers for everyday outdoor activities such as countryside walks, travelling and exploring.
Fleece fabric helps retain warmth while remaining relatively lightweight, making it useful for layering during changing temperatures.
For colder or windier conditions, pair your fleece with one of our Jackets for additional protection.
How do you style a colour block fleece?
Colour block fleeces work well with simple wardrobe essentials, allowing the bold colours to take centre stage.
For a relaxed everyday look, pair a colourful fleece with jeans, cargo trousers and trainers. If you prefer a retro-inspired outfit, choose a fleece with contrasting panels and combine it with neutral accessories.
Complete your look with our Bottoms, or explore our Accessories for more everyday essentials.
Are colour block fleeces warm?
Yes. Colour block fleeces offer the same general insulating benefits as other fleece garments.
Their soft fabric helps trap warmth close to the body, making them comfortable for cooler days and everyday layering.
The level of warmth depends on the fleece's fabric weight, thickness and construction. For colder weather, consider layering underneath a suitable jacket.
How do you wash a colour block fleece?
Always follow the care instructions on your fleece's garment label.
Washing at the recommended temperature and avoiding excessive heat can help maintain the fabric's texture, shape and appearance.
For fleeces with contrasting colours, following the care label is particularly important to help preserve their original look.
