Goodbye summer, hello autumn! As the seasons start to change, so does our wardrobe. You know what I’m talking about, that third piece that completes the outfit. The blazer, the trench coat, the cropper trench coat, the tailored blazer, the parka, the paisley jacket, you name it, this third piece is not only to keep you warm but to transform the outfit. Especially if you are in Madrid or Palm Beach and are thinking what to wear for fall while visiting, this third piece is key to making the look an outfit. You can wear simple classic pieces as a base layer, but what you put on top of this look, that extra layer many times can further elevate your outfit.
Think of this example, white tee, white shorts, black leather loafers, black reversible belt, then add the oversized blazer over the shoulders because it’s still warm in Madrid and you got yourself a striking look. The third piece that makes the outfit and seals the deal, literally. I’m a firm believer that a style tells a story. The simple look says you like neutrals, you paired them cleanly and they work well but the oversized blazer, that third piece adds personality and makes the look more sophisticated, elegant without losing its casual vibe and finishes the story.
