Jules demonstrates the art of classic autumn layering, styling Halfdays’ Louise Down Vest over a navy sweater and a crisp white collared shirt with turned-up cuffs. She pairs it with mid-wash flared denim, pointed black leather boots, dark oversized sunglasses, and a slouchy black shoulder bag tucked under her arm—striking that ideal balance between preppy office chic and New York street style.
Lindsay wears the Louise Down Jacket in Storm, paired with light-wash cargo jeans featuring oversized utility pockets. Bold yellow Onitsuka sneakers, aviator sunglasses, and a quilted black leather Chanel bag make this the perfect downtown street-style outfit.
Andrea takes a refined approach to off-duty athleisure, styling the Louise Down Jacket in Americano over cream wide-leg track pants with black contrast side striping. Finished with black leather square-toe loafers, wired headphones, and big sunnies, it’s the perfect uniform for staying dry in between PR events.
Talia goes for the Louise Down Jacket in Rouge, throwing it on over the Julie Quarter Zip Top and Irene Pants. Perched on a SoHo stoop, she accessorizes with dark shield sunglasses and a structured brown leather shoulder tote, proving that a bold red jacket is all you need to elevate standard autumn neutrals.
Katie takes the color of the season and styles it head-to-toe, wearing the Louise Down Vest in Americano over the Pieper Fleece and Baggy Irene Pants. A big black leather clutch and chunky Salomon trail sneakers give the cozy, monochromatic set a more elevated office-chic feel.

Hannah styles her Black Louise Down Vest over a crisp white tee and white straight-leg denim. The real showstopper? Slouchy, over-the-knee tan suede boots that instantly transform a clean, neutral co-ord into a major high-fashion look, finished with a black quilted tote and dark sunglasses.
Bella wears the Louise Down Jacket in Storm. Layered over a soft white hooded balaclava that frames her face, she pairs the puffer with relaxed, wide-leg light-wash denim and Isabel Marant sneakers. An iconic metallic silver Chanel bowler bag held slung over her shoulder gives the cool-toned outfit a playful elevated touch.
Zoe masters layered proportions in the bold Rouge Louise Puffer Down Jacket. Letting an untucked white button-down peek out underneath dark brown wide-leg trousers, she finishes the vibrant outerwear with pointed dark red boots and slim black frames—delivering effortless downtown energy.
