WDIWT...12/11/13

Layered up big time today, v-neck sweater, blazer and a topcoat. It felt bulky but it kept me warm which is the important part. The pocket square in the topcoat isn't necessary but I felt that it was a nice touch. I've seen it done by a few of my friends as well.

Apparently I wasn't the only one with this idea of layering today. One of my co-workers did the same thing today, denim, v-neck sweater, blazer and a topcoat. The difference; all black but the v-neck. Granted much like me, we both spent most of the day out of the topcoat. Some ideas in menswear do translate into both genders. Additionally these boots have received a lot of wear lately for two reasons. One, the boot itself, sleek wingtip in brown leather and two the rubber soles. The best $40 I have spent.
