Layering is not just limited to fall and winter.

It can be equally useful in the spring and summer, especially for those of us traveling to slightly cooler climates (think Maine, Nantucket or the Adirondacks).  You know, those days where it is 75 and sunny during the day but drops down to a cool 60 at night.  Fog may or may not be present.

The purpose behind adding layers is the same in the summer as in the fall.  Added warmth, whether it be for you or your lady.  Just keep in mind that it is best to add layers with style and respect for your setting.

Fall is coming.  Winter follows.

  1. Nicely done. I can’t say that I’m a fan of padded vests like that, but your points are well made.

  2. That get up with the orange life vest and blinding yellow shoes is definitely on the worst dressed list or What NOT to do..
    And don’t get me started on that hideous hair. Good Lord.
