With winter in full force here (usually the mercury hangs around 25 degrees) I have been able to witness a whole new winter fashion trend here. The sweater-vest. Now, I personally enjoy the sweater-vest, it has a certain appeal to it that has made it a bit of an underdog in the fashion world since the end of the 50’s. However, here in Bangladesh it enjoys a much higher status. Everyone from wealthy businessmen to local rickshaw wallahs can been seen sporting this look at any given time on any given street corner. Whether it be a flashy Argyll print or a solid, sensible grey or brown, it is THE article of clothing to be seen in. Now, if only it were acceptable for women to wear them.
…on a side note, I just now spotted a business man wearing a neon blue, pink and brown stripped sweater-vest…classy!

i was a big fan of the sweatervest in high school. i owned some pretty great ones. my main high school attire included grey dress pants, a white button-up collared shirt, a skinny black tie, and one of many sweatervests, all purchased from goodwill. i miss my high school clothes. i just haven't been able to find any sweatervests i like lately.
very popular in Japan right now too. So is the "man bag" - aka purse!! And believe it or not, the guys here can actually get away with it.
i have not much to say about sweatervests, but i wanted to say a bloggy hello. hi bri! take some pics of vests for me!
