Fresh Mint

Fresh Mint

The winter weather is upon us. Unfortunately, I was caught off guard and had not taken my heavier coats out of storage yet this season, and so I was left with one option as the temperatures began to drop...layering. Truth be told, I drive most places and was able to get away with this move for a few days, so lets talk about it.
This particular outfit had four layering pieces which kept the heat in but the key here was the cardigan seen in the second frame. Wool is always a great choice in weather but a cardigan specifically allows it to be worn open so that it is barely seen if so desired. The pop of color comes from this cool mint colored oxford with a button down collar. Oxford cloth is a great heavier choice in. shirting that is perfect for this type of situation. Here go the details:
Hat: Not yet released Outland NY. A concept we have been playing with in the studio that will be out in the spring.
Button Down: Oxford in mint available on Amazon, here is the link https://amzn.to/3SsyMDy  As an Amazon associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Cardigan: Gap. I have had this cardigan for at least 10 years. I am surprised it still fits. Mine has a collegiate piping in contrasting navy along the trim. Here is a nice comparable but with a shawl collar. Different from mine but I recommend you have at least one shawl collar https://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=787070012&vid=1&searchText=cardigan#pdp-page-content
Trench: Ben Sherman Double Breasted Trench coat https://amzn.to/426SKak
Shoes: Off brand dupes but here is a link to a tastier version and a classic https://www.ghbass.com/mens-ranger-super-lug-camp-moc-baz2m409
