Shearling has never been so scandalous and wearable at the same time! It sounds like a crazy idea: a cozy lambskin vest, that promise to keep you warm when the temperature drops, that’s also one hundred-percent bare in the back. But if you think about it, not only does Karl Donoghue‘s waistcoat look savagely fierce, it’s a brilliant layering item. All the warmth of super-fuzzy shearling and no bulk whatsoever under coats! Put it over a simple dress or jeans and you’ve totally revitalized your outfit, without looking like your overly covered up.
With a leather belt for a figure-flattering cinch and a glamorously cascading collar, wear it with confident; just don’t overdo it with say, a pair of spiked thigh-high boots or you’ll cross over to sexy cavewoman territory. Treat it like the practical piece it actually is – this is a winter-perfect investment that you’ll never tire of and last you for seasons to come. Exclusively on Net-a-Porter for $665.
Pair with: Barbara Bui‘s bronze leather Tootie satchel is easy elegance, and the perfectly cut pony-hair flap puts it over the edge of cool. Barbara Bui Tootsie Bag, $2,370.
