Eight out of twelve months, the weather here in Los Angeles can go extremely warm in the high noon, and cool in the morning and evening. For a commuter like me, I found a waistcoat is essential to cope with Los Angeles’ extreme climate.

I love this waistcoat with pleated hem from StyleWe.com. It’s not your typical waistcoat. It has an unusual, skirt like pleated hem. It’s a great example of menswear meets girly details. That’s what I love about it.

How to style a waistcoat with such an unique details? Keep everything else simple so that the waistcoat becomes the highlight of your outfit. Having a statement piece like this, you really needn’t much to come up with a great, powerful outfit.
