Still hesitant to bring out the fully fledged overcoat? Don’t worry we have the perfect fix. This menswear inspired vest is our favourite layered look to help bridge the gap between our autumn and winter wardrobe.

This trend was spotted left, right and centre on SS15 runway shows such as Rag & Bone, Reed Krakoff, Thakoon, 3.1 Phillip Lim and Tory Burch. So, stay ahead and don’t wait until March to don the vest!

Although your basic puffer vest may carry major insulation points; keep those lined up for when the bigger chill sets in. For the time being you’ll get a kick experimenting with the variations you can wear with this effortless add on.

Everything from sweeping floor length to cropped and tailored; embellished with fur as well as bright pops of colour are flooding the street style scene. While many of you may be rushing towards your chunky knits and cosy woolley jumpers, why not layer on the vest to transform your everyday ordinary look into a something a little bit cooler?
