In(vested)-Men’s Fall Fashion Trends

Somewhere in the 10 Commandments of style lies “Layering”. This fall, where looking good while still staying warm is key, layering can be a man’s most invaluable style asset, as we’ve been stressing this entire season. It adds not only depth, but character to any outfit and when pulled off right can turn a few heads. For a simple, yet dashing layering element try the down vest, which looks as good as it is functional.

I’m no scientist, but I know that if you keep your core warm, you stay warm. The down vest (sometimes called a puffer vest) can be thrown on as a top layer or used under another piece of outerwear to add a new dimension to your already established fall staples. Almost every major menswear brand carries some variation on the down vest this season so it’s extremely easy to find something that easily fits your wardrobe. Below are a few of the seasons best, so whether your looking for waxed cotton (L.L. Bean), a bit of a western influence (Patagonia) or something appropriate for your next grouse hunt in the Scottish highlands, you should be able to find your new down vest below. If you do one thing this fall, in-vest.
