Too often, the ample storage of winter coats lead to feeling strapped for places to put your stuff when the weather gets warmer.

It’s time to get behind the vest. For a relatively low amount of heat added during summertime, the additional layer, like this one from Skunkworks, offers four additional pockets. The J. Press seersucker popover shirt also gives the look some contrasting, pastel colors with more formality than a white t shirt.
