They have their time and place I have one that zips into my waterproof coat cosy and warm even on the coldest wettest day. I think I'll keep mine.

I love mine, I have several! I have the fluffy sort. They are so cosy when you live in a house with a fresh air fiend!

It might be unflattering and boring, but it's perfect when you take dogs out on a chilly morning and it has pockets.

I have always thought the fleece to be the most unflattering and boring garment known to woman (and man). I was therefore delighted to see on Gransnet, in the' What not to wear over 50' section, that fleeces were mentioned as a definite 'no'. What's more, in my paper today, I read that they are a threat to marine life because every time one is washed 2,000 polyester fibres are released into the environment. I rest my case!
