GROUNDED AFFAIR: The Naval Jacket

Winter carries a solemn attitude characterized by thoughtfulness and a tinge of moodiness. The naval inspired jacket embodies this spirit due to the battlegrounds’ strategic and destructive nature. Yet there’s something attractive about that sense of discipline, perhaps due to promises of reliability and even victory. So here’s to that grounded affair by repurposing the way we style the naval military jacket.

For this look, the jacket speaks for itself strongly. It’s low maintenance and grounds other pieces to be supporting forces. Throw on a pair of black jeans, chelsea boots and scarf, the result is simple yet manages to command attention. It’s an item meant for everyday, even when we’re feeling a little fancier than usual.
