During the fall/winter season, the one thing on our mind is to stay warm especially when outdoors. Proper layering of your attire will ensure you don’t freeze to death and that is where this body vest comes into play. Alongside your topcoat, this piece can be layered on a dress shirt, cardigan or even over your blazer/suit jacket. In this post, I elected for a 6 button double breasted vest made of 100% subalpino italian wool since the topcoat served as my only jacket. Given this is a more dressier fitted vest, you want to keep the puffiness at a minimum; it simply looks better underneath a dress coat. An extremely versatile piece even during early fall to take the dog out or a quick trip to the store, it provides the right amount of layering for those not too cool nights.
