The Hooded Field Jacket
This jacket is both practical and stylish; the interior tech lining is removable, allowing you to transition from colder climates to the warmer Miami winters. It is also easy to layer; pairing the jacket with a simple V-neck and colorful plaid dress shirt will keep you warm, whatever your location. I recommend this convertible look for any night when you have a couple of events on your agenda; by removing the different layers, you can show off different looks throughout the evening.
The Plaid Sport Coat
For most gentlemen, dressing for the workday is easy, but I believe dressing for the weekend or a casual event should be just as effortless. With this light gray plaid sport coat, you can feel comfortable going from a gallery preview straight to dinner. The crisp, white button-down and dark navy slacks serve to accentuate the pattern in the jacket. By coordinating colors in the tie with the stripes in the plaid, the entire ensemble becomes sophisticated and refined.
The Colorful Cardigan
Throwing a cardigan on over your shirt is an easy way to stay warm in the chilly Miami winters while still looking like a trendsetter. The look shown here is a great choice for the frequent art exhibit attendee. The bright yellow cardigan paired with the checkered shirt and tie is a very fashion-forward look, and is guaranteed to be a conversation-starter amongst your friends. Gingham shirts are the big trend in men’s dress shirts this season, however, it can seem very difficult to pair a tie with the pattern. I find that an oversized plaid is an excellent choice.
The Tech. Vest
High-tech fabric was seen on many runways this season. This vest is our interpretation of the trend, which is perfect for the Miami climate. A bright colored vest is a great winter accessory to throw over a cable-knit sweater, as seen here. The sweater, which has a nice weight to it, is also perfect to wear alone. The heather gray hue looks good on every skin tone, and it is easy to match with an outerwear piece of virtually any color.
The Cashmere Jacket
This classic cashmere jacket is something that every man should have in his closet—it is essential for completing any winter outfit. The key to a great topcoat is fit and style. I recommend a neutral color and medium length, as it is the most practical. For this look, we paired the jacket with an argyle cashmere sweater-vest and accessorized with a complementing scarf. With this versatile outfit, you will be ready for wherever the night takes you.
