Trend Report - The Puffed Down Vest

Last season we saw a resurgence in the down vest (aka. puffer vest, puffy vest, puffed et al.), and now everyone from Old Navy to Prada is hot on the trend. What’s great about the puffy vest is its wear-ability from fall to winter to spring. Pick a down vest that is on the lighter side, not too billowy and neutral for easy mix-and-matching. It will go just as great over a wool sweater as it will under a heavy coat.

“You cannot be fresh and feeling fine, wearing a washed vest under an unwashed shirt; or, an unwashed vest over a washed shirt. Both have to be clean, to provide a sense of tingling joy. So too outer and inner cleanliness is but the reflection of the inner achievement.” –Sri Sathya Sai Baba
