This One Item Completes My Look For Spring and Autumn | #WittyFashion

[wittyzell]

I live in a country where there are 4 seasons so having clothes for each season will really fill up my closet instantly. It's hard to be a minimalist because I just can't let go of my precious clothes. After all, I earned them! And I really love dressing up so every time I go out, it's really a fashion show for me. 😏

But no, I'm not referring to the dresses worn in Oscar's or any other awards' night celebrities and influencers attend and show off their classy and unique look. That's too extravagant for me!

I'm referring to my everyday life in this fashionable country - Japan.

You will know it's spring in Japan when you see a lot of people wearing denim jackets. Everybody has one and if you don't have it, I suggest you go buy it. It pairs with a lot of clothes in your closet.

While I agree having a denim jacket is a must-have fashion item during spring, I just don't want to be part of the crowd. I want to be different. It feels as if I want to stand out but actually I'm an introvert, I don't want to stand out but I want to be different from the rest. I know, such contradiction!

So I came across this trendy fashion item that maybe not a lot of people have because I always don't see people wearing it. I mean I see some wear it but not everybody. It's versatile just like denim jackets and it adds formality to my overall look.

What is it? Well, it's a waistcoat!

What Is A Waistcoat?

Men usually wear waistcoat but nowadays, women can wear it. For men, they are usually worn as a formal outfit and with a tie. There are other variants over time, I mean fashion constantly evolves! For women, it can be short like the men's for a formal style or can be long.

What I have is a black suede long waistcoat. And this is what I usually wear to complete my overall look for spring and autumn. Haven't tried wearing it on summer because it seems hot, and neither during winter because it would be too cold. Spring and autumn are just perfect for this outfit.

I actually saved space in my closet because I used it for 2 different seasons. (Or did I really save space? 😅)

Maybe you're wondering what suede is (because I did when I first heard of the word!).

Suede (pronounced /sweɪd/ (SWAYD)) is a type of leather with a fuzzy, napped finish, commonly used for jackets, shoes, fabrics, purses, furniture, and other items. The term comes from the French gants de Suède, which literally means "gloves from Sweden".

Spring Style

Last year's Golden Week was so hot for a spring day but not too hot for summer so I still needed the waistcoat to be fashionable (haha yes!) and to hide my curves (I don't have lol). Yes, the waistcoat is perfect to hide my imperfections here and there. Hehe

White crop top from H&M, black cargo pants from Rothco and white sneakers (Air Force 1) from Nike

It was a sunny day in Asakusa, Tokyo last year's spring but never regretted I wore the waistcoat to finish my look.

Black blouse and gray trousers from H&M, and white sneakers (Air Force 1) from Nike

Wore this on my trip to Hakone Shrine. By far, this is one of my favorite styles! I just love how the waistcoat complements the blue shirt dress!

Shirt dress from Zara, leggings (because it was still cold!), white sneakers (Air Max 90) from Nike

Wore this when I went to Fuji Shibazakura Festival. I really thought this year's Golden Week's like the last but it was cold! I kinda wore something summer-y which was a very wrong move. Luckily, I brought my waistcoat with me. Not enough to keep me warm honestly, but it helps.

Autumn Look

The color combinations may be too dark for others but well, I like it. With autumn so brown and yellow, I figured I need to paint the picture navy blue.

Navy sweater from Russell Athletic, denim pants from Zara and black boots from Dr. Martens

Final Thoughts

I think suede will never be out of style, just like sneakers and denim jackets. So it's good to invest in one - jackets, waistcoats, shoes or anything.

I haven't really seen men wearing long waistcoats around here. If you happen to find one, please let me know in the comments.

No celebrities really influenced me of my style. I just happen to like this garment when I was browsing my favorite brand's online shop and figured it would be nice to have one for myself. Then I just mix and match. Sometimes I ask opinion from my partner because he's the one who's more knowledgeable in the fashion world than I am. Maybe I am influenced by him. Sometimes I disturb my trusted friend @thinkeringbart and also ask his thoughts about my clothes' combinations.

My best advice? You gotta have people around you that will support you being fashionable. And lastly, and very important, "confidence is the best outfit"^[1]!

Thank you for reading!
See you around! じゃあ、またね！

Geezzz thanks! I have lots of black clothes actually 😂
Lately I’m trying other colors..

[stdd]

🤣 Okay, white and blue suits you too! Experimenting is always fun, you never know what might be until you try it...)

[wittyzell]

Yes! It just takes a lot of time to wear everything in the closet to find the “right” match.
Ohhh, white and blue! The colors of spring and summer! I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks!

Hey you are right and you are looking really cute by having that dress and your all poses are really unique and attracting me 😅 by the way all your clicks are wonderful and sweet.

[wittyzell]

@uop Thank you! I need to experiment on some other poses though 😅

[uop]

Yes sure you should try as you can do a wonderful job. You should start modeling as you are good looking and good in poses and gestures.

[wittyzell]

WOW! Thank you! Not sure if I can pass as a model, that's like something so hard to achieve 😅

[uop]

You should try. If you have spirit and craze then you can do it.

[wittyzell]

Let's see..

What a great item that waistcoat is! You wear it so well! Your smile is amazing, especially in the 'Autumn' series of pics! 😊

Aweeee 😍 Thanks!

[arcgspy]

Taray ng pa-fashyown! I wish we had 4 seasons here too so I could play around with my clothes. But then again, choosing to stick to fewer pieces of clothing lessened my fashion dilemmas 😆

[wittyzell]

Of course may pa fashion tayo! bwahahaha!

Nah, there would be a lot of judgers there in PH if you dress up elegantly or fashionably.
Just come here and be fashionable here! 🤣

[lunaticanto]

Welcome to this beautiful community, I loved your participation. Wow, we are far away, I loved that you gave us your perception of fashion from a country with 4 seasons, in mine there are only 2: sun and lots of sun hahaha

This photo was my favorite, you're right, the contrast of autumn colors with the one in your clothes it was incredible, we hope to see you often here, a hug 💗

[wittyzell]

@lunaticanto Thank you! Appreciate the warm welcome!
I can totally relate about the 2 seasons because I also came from a country with only 2 seasons: sunny and rainy. Can't really be so fashionable there, but in this country where I live in now, you can really dress up a lot! 😅

Glad you like the photo!

I hope to be here often so I guess I'll see you around!
