Daily Outfits 104

Okay, so not much to discuss today. I had to run to class and take the Nightclub Management final and ended up going over to a friend’s house for dinner. Dressed pretty simple and warm but still kept the pieces interesting.

* Black open collar shirt by John Varvatos, white denim jeans by John Galliano, grey pea coat by A.C.K.

So the military style pea coat with brazen buttons is one of my favorite, slightly casual, winter pieces that I own. Instead of throwing on a hoodie and looking like a bum, a pea coat over a tee takes the outfit for guys up a few notches. Really, if guys and girls in our generation would just step away from the sweat shirts and hoodies for a few days, it’d make the world a far more aesthetically pleasing place to live.

And really what’s the hassle? Shrugging on a coat takes just as little effort as tossing on a hoodie and it keeps you just as warm and comfortable if not more so.

Anyways, the focal point to this outfit with the jacket on is in the black leather detailing and the bronze big brass buttons on the pea coat. When the coat is taken off indoors, the John Varvatos open collar shirt really highlights the entire outfit with such an interesting design around the collar.

The white John Galliano jeans also serve as a color contrast and a focal piece as well, but I’ll talk about those jeans on another day.

A good tip in keeping white jeans clean during the rainy, snowy, muddy season is to tuck them into leather boots or your favorite pair of rain boots. It pulls off a old school aristocrat/equestrian look if done right.
