DOWN VEST

As the cool season arrives, opening the closet feels lighter somehow—like a familiar ritual that brings a quiet thrill.
Seeing those well-loved pieces again signals the start of another autumn and winter.

While I usually spend my days at the nonnative shop, I also have a few personal favorites from the brand itself. One of them, and the piece I’d like to recommend for this time of year, is the EXPLORER DOWN VEST NYLON RIPSTOP WITH WINDSTOPPER®.

Down vests are often underestimated—many people think their season is short or their styling range is limited.
In reality, they’re surprisingly versatile pieces that add great flexibility to any wardrobe.

Of course, they pair easily over shirts, sweatshirts, or knits, but I especially recommend layering them over a lightweight jacket.
It adds depth to your outfit while enhancing warmth—an effortless two-in-one benefit.

With winters feeling milder each year, a down vest offers just the right balance of comfort and practicality.

There’s something about its compact silhouette that gives off a quiet, confident air.
From autumn to winter, and into the heart of the cold season, this down vest is one I hope will become a familiar favorite in your closet too.
