Cure For The Common – Fleece Vest
They say that necessity is the mother of invention, a less well known fact is that it’s also the mother of misappropriation. For example, the fleece vest, a trusted friend during hikes, weekends at the cabin, and when your girlfriend drags you antiquing, becomes a style killer when worn over business casual wear during the work week. But it’s cold so you rationalize that you have to wear it.
Unfortunately when you’ve got a well coordinated casual chic look goin’ on, topping it off with a less than worthy piece is akin to topping your perfectly grilled steak with peanut butter and jelly (if you have a delicious recipe that you swear will change our opinion on that combo feel free to share it in the comments). It’s a simple case of one of these is not like the other. The sporty weekend fleece has its happy place, and it’s not when you mean business, or when you just wanna shine.
The solution is to add another vest into your rotation. Something a bit more gentleman rather than woodsman. Zara knocked it out with this versatile tweed and nylon vest. You can wear it with wool slacks and a sweater or jeans and button down or hoodie and step up your business casual and weekend swagger.
