Throughout most of the seasons in California, the weather is not cold but does get chilly. I have found that vests are the perfect layering piece for winter. Many local department stores (like Nordstrom) has winter vests, including Banana Republic's puffer jacket. Winter vests can be put over workout suits while heading to the gym or dressed up with jeans and a long sleeve shirt.
My favorite vest is my Salomon 540 Quilted Ski Jacket. It has a fitted cut, sits just below the waist and is very warm. I purchased my jacket at REI, which is the go to place for outdoor gear and has stores all over the Bay Area. They also carry eco-friendly clothing lines.
I love vests - I did not know that BR had any.
