Last Bite of Winter: Down Vests & Tailored Jackets

Published on March 28th, 2012

The tail end of Winter is lingering and giving us a few more days to work in some layering. Try a down vest over a tailored jacket as a nice high/low transitional look.

Gabe (as feature here and here) and I give a few examples below.

 

1. Weekend in the LES

It’s almost Spring but there’s still a chill in the air from Winter. It’s a perfect time to break out Spring looks, with one extra layer for warmth.

A knit blazer is soft and casual, making more appropriate for the weekend than the office.

With a more casual jacket, like this knit with patch pockets, flipping up the collar/lapel under the vest gives it an element of non-chalance. Here Gabe wears it more as a sweater than tailored wear.
