Sweatin' It

Because it can often be 85 in Palo Alto and 60 in the City, the layered look is always a good option in the Bay Area. In the summer, a light cashmere works well. In the winter, add a sport coat or leather jacket, and choose a heavier cashmere or wool to stay warm and dry. Solid colors work best and are the most versatile. Patterns are great as well, but matching them to the rest of your ensemble can be challenging. Sweaters with collars look best layered under a sport coat- stylish and sophisticated.

Ø Mongolian Cashmere woven in Italy is best
Ø Buy darker colors that flatter your natural features
