trousers/"vest" --Banana Republic(similarish here via Poshmark), shirt-Woolrich, shoes-Sole Society(similarish here)
Summer can be a challenging time for stylish office wear. Standard suiting is too heavy, even with blazing AC, a navy wool blazer and pants, just feels "off" seasonally speaking. I've always been a big fan of the "safari chic" aesthetic for warm-weather work-wear. This "vest" fits that bill nicely, running along that lines of professional, while also having a utility type vibe. I've use quotation marks on the word vest, because I'm not 100 on whether this technically IS a vest, or a sleeveless blazer... the epaulets, pocket placement, and general silhouette give the feeling of a jacket, no? Either way, when paired with my go-to black trousers, a breezy button-down, and enmeshed oxfords, this OOTD is chic AF summer suiting, especially for the grey summer days we've been having here in Pittsburgh.
