The Puffer Vest

A staple on college campuses everywhere, these versatile layering pieces are perfect for the brisk fall air. Countless designers have shown their take on the puffer vest, ranging from Elizabeth and James' navajo-inspired number (Mary Kate and Ashley's debut menswear collection, might I add) to Brunello Cucinelli's classic gray cashmere version. But if you're not looking to drop two grand on this piece (and who is?), I give you Lands' End, a steal at just $29.50. Hell, you can pick up a few different colors at that price. Layer it over a shirt and sweater or under a blazer and you'll be ready for whatever weather October happens to throw at you.
