How to Pick the Right Nike Fleece: Your Studio Fleece Guide

• Nike Studio Fleece for women comes in three weights – light, medium and heavy – each designed for a different level of warmth and activity.
• All three weights are available in standard and oversized fits.
• Studio Fleece sets are available across all three weights for a coordinated head-to-toe look.
• For everyday layering, start with light or medium weight. For cold-weather coverage, go heavy.
• Machine wash cold, tumble dry low to keep fleece soft and preserve the fabric.

Nike Studio Fleece is a collection of women's fleece tops and bottoms designed for comfort, versatility and everyday wear. The line spans three fabric weights – light, medium and heavy – so you can build a layering system that works for your activity level and the weather. All three weights share the same consistent fit across the collection.

'It was critical for us to focus on how it feels as much as how it performs,' says Jill Gonzalez, Senior Manager of Product Line Management at Nike. 'Engineering the fabric and finishes to deliver that soft, sensorial experience she's looking for, was our ultimate goal.'

Studio Sport (Dri-FIT and Therma-FIT fleece) rounds out the line-up for athletes who want performance-ready fabrics with the same easy feel.

Each weight has a job. Here's how to choose.

When the temperature drops, heavyweight Studio Fleece is your go-to. It's substantial enough to wear on its own or layer under a trench coat for an edge. Pair it with leggings and your favourite Nikes for an oversized-hoodie moment, or lean into the set for an easy, coordinated look.

Medium weight is the all-rounder. It's structured enough to layer but soft enough to wear solo. A zip-up fleece with joggers and trainers works for errands, a coffee run or a low-key workout day.

Lightweight fleece is made for movement. Think cropped fleece over bike shorts or yoga pants, perfect for warm-ups, cool-downs or when you want something to pull on between sets. It's also your best option for layering under a heavier jacket without adding bulk.

Matching from head to toe is easy with Nike Studio Fleece sets. Sets pair a relaxed hoodie or crew with matching joggers, available in all three weights.

Nike Studio Fleece runs true to size. For a standard fit, choose your usual size. For an oversized or layered look, common with heavyweight styles, consider going up a size. If you're wearing fleece as a mid-layer under a jacket, stick with your true size to avoid bulk. Sizing is consistent across all three weights, so if a medium works in light, it works in heavy too.

'We approached Studio Fleece as a balance of ease and intention – refining the fit to feel effortless, while every detail, from the proportions to the smallest finishes, was carefully considered,' says Claire Durfee, Lead Apparel Designer at Nike.

Studio Fleece works across every part of your day. Wear it to the gym, layer it for errands or throw it on as your go-to off-duty piece. Here are a few ideas for styling each weight.

Heavyweight

• Oversized hoodie with leggings and boots
• Layered under a trench coat for an urban edge
• Full fleece set for an effortless, head-to-toe look
  

Medium Weight

• Zip-up fleece with joggers and trainers
• Transitional layering between seasons
• Studio Fleece set for an easy, coordinated look
  

Lightweight

• Cropped fleece with bike shorts or yoga pants
• Warm-up or cool-down layer at the gym
• Base layer under a water-resistant shell on cold days

To keep Nike Studio Fleece soft wash after wash: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, turn the garment inside out to protect the fabric surface, avoid fabric softener (it can coat the fibres and reduce breathability) and tumble dry low or air dry. Do not iron directly on the fleece exterior.
