[Lookbook 07.03.2012] Military imprecision

rszDSC_2654adj-1

While a heat wave is wreaking havoc across America, it's been raining like crazy here since Monday. Getting out of bed can be really tough in this weather because the noticeable drop in temperature makes me wanna stay at home all day, in bed for the most part. On the bright side, though, I get to wear jackets that our tropical climate normally prevents me from wearing, like this one here.

This military-style jacket is clearly not made for the weather that we have here in the Philippines but I still manage to put it on in on rare occasions. When it's raining non-stop like now, the office air conditioning feels like it's going haywire and alas, my wearing this jacket is justified!

The shoes may be a bit off but I wanted something to erode the stiffness of the military jacket even a bit. Besides, the skies are dark, my outfit is dark; now should I just allow my shoes to be as grim?

  5. You're really rocking that top! If we lived in a colder country that jacket would be awesome with a nice brightly colored scarf. Something on the lines of a burgundy red. Too bad wearing a scarf would be overkill considering the weather :P

    Thanks for posting! I LOVE men's fashion and it's pretty hard to see relatable blogs out there like yours :D

    1. haha, thanks. i can only wear this -- ironically -- indoors. unless when i'm probably in baguio at night. oh well, the frustrations of living in a tropical country...

      about the scarf, sometimes we do wear them when it gets really cold in the office - and then take it all off once you hit the door.
