LAPEL The Garments

The Garments

A blazer split between a blueprint sketch and the finished garment.

A reference catalogue of the garments that show up across smart casual and its neighbouring dress codes. Organised by layer: each page lists the garments in that layer ordered along the formality axis, with construction details, origins, and notes on where each piece sits.

Start with Layers if you want the conceptual model first, or jump straight into a layer if you know what you're looking for.

  1. 01 Layers [stub] The layered-dressing model — what each layer does and how they stack.
  2. 02 Base layer [stub] Tops worn directly on the torso — t-shirts, polos, shirts, henleys.
  3. 03 Middle layer [stub] Knitwear and warmth — sweaters, cardigans, vests, sweatshirts.
  4. 04 Outer layer [stub] Jackets and coats — blazers, sport coats, harringtons, bombers, overcoats, trenches.
  5. 05 Bottom layer [stub] Trousers, jeans, chinos, shorts — what goes below the waist.
  6. 06 Footwear [stub] Loafers, derbies, oxfords, boots, sneakers — shoes for the smart-casual range.
  7. 07 Accessories [stub] Belts, watches, ties, scarves, eyewear, bags — the supporting cast.
