OK, while I grew up in the cold north (NY) I have lived in the South since 1973. [ grace of God ] So I have a question for you true northerly FReepers.
Why does that jacket have eyelets for laces on the front?
Is that jacket really only an under-jacket for something much warmer?
And those gloves look like ‘dress up’ gloves to me.
Not that I mind at all, but it looks like Vogue dressed her to look good (easy to do) as opposed to snapping her pic in real cold weather garb.
I am ready to be informed.
The eyelets maybe be for hanging things like a whistle, bear spray, or a small sheathed knife.
The gloves look thick, and wonderfully warm.
JMO.
designers usually take pieces that have an actual function and mirror them in non-functional ways. it looks better, but the function is gone.
of course, i live in NYC but know little of fashion.
