A quarter zip is the one winter layer that works at a desk and at dinner. Warm enough for a cold morning, neat enough to look like you made an effort.
"The quarter zip is warmth and soft comfort, but it looks put together. It's your daily work layer in the winter, and it doubles up for the evening. The fabric is really good." Shivaan Seth, founder

How to wear a quarter zip
- To work: over a Heavy Polo or a button-down, with trousers or our All Day Pants. The collar of the shirt sitting inside the zip is the classic look.
- To dinner: zip it higher over a plain T-shirt. It reads smarter than a hoodie with no extra effort.
- On cold Delhi mornings: add a Polar Fleece jacket on top and take it off by lunch. Our winter layering guide has the full system.
Choosing a colour
Black and Navy are the most office-friendly. Grey is the classic weekend quarter zip. Stone is the lightest, good with darker trousers.
