The Perfect Jacket + Vest Combo

Despite the weather changes in NYC there are still many days that we need to wear a jacket. This beautiful Laveer jacket I was gifted to by a friend and it is probably the most amazing jacket I have ever worn. It has a shearling vest attached to the jacket on the inside which adds a whole other aspect to it. Something that I have learned by seeing other style editors during fashion week, is that a jacket doesn’t need to always be worn like a proper jacket. The great thing about having the vest attached to the jacket is you can wear the vest and then just have the jacket lay on your shoulders.  I  am wearing a long sleeve white t-shirt underneath for several reason. I feel if you aren’t going to wear the jacket fully on your body and just let it lay on your shoulders you should wear a long sleeve and not a t-shirt or a tank top underneath because: A. you are going to be cold and B. it just doesn’t look right if you are walking down the street and you are wearing a coat with a tank top underneath. If you don’t want to purchase a jacket that has a vest attached to it I suggest you find a vest that you really like and take it to your local tailor. The jacket stays on my shoulders because the vest is attached, but if you don’t want to permanently change your jacket you can ask your tailor to add buttons on the inside in order to attach the vest whenever you want to change up your look.  If you love Laveer jackets and don’t want to spend a fortune on them check online right now. This is the best time to buy a lot of your winter jackets especially since winter is technically over, but the weather isn’t telling us that. I hope you like today’s post and now can pull of this look yourself 🙂
