A quilted suede vest is a perfect top, allowing for versatility and warmth without the bulk. A pair of red cords five-pocket pants gives just the right amount of color to kick off the holidays!

Layered Comfort

We’re used to it by now. The mornings start brisk, but the heat arrives by noon.  There’s only one solution – layering.  And this week’s closet nails it.  A fall shade button down under a Merino wool 1/4 zip from topped off with a winter white corduroy overshirt. The autumn palette is sophisticated and offers warmth when needed without the bulk. It’s layering the way it was meant to be.

Confidence and Character

It’s a fact, the Italians wear a vest over their sports coat to keep the wind out while riding around on their Vespas in the fall. While you’re not riding a scooter around town, you still value warmth and style. That’s what this week’s Curated Closet is about. It’s a layered refinement perfect for the man who values a silhouette that is both modern and effortlessly polished. It’s confidence and taste rolled into one!
