The way I see it, vests are more than a trend; they’re a staple in any girls’ closet that is perfect for boosting any ensemble. That being said, a vest shouldn’t be seen as a last resort piece. I mean, just look up! Layering with a vest is the perfect way to up the ante for any sort of occasion and is a statement piece on its own.
The beauty of wearing a vest is simple, it can make an outfit look elegant, trendy, edgy or high fashion and everything in-between. You can utilize this trend in bright orange for game day, faux fur for those fashion-forward go-getters or refined leather for a day at the office or even for a night on the town. It’s incredible just how adaptable a style could be, but throwing a vest over any outfit truly can transform and polish the look.
This Fashionista makes her vest stand out while maintaining a flowing look. She’s ready for a day of shopping or a long-anticipated downtown meal (a celebratory break from dining hall dishes). This Fashionista keeps it elegant in all-black, but the simple pop of color not only draws our attention to the great piece and also completes the look. Not to mention, her baby blue leather vest can be worn in all kinds of weather and for several seasons; in other words, it’s totally versatile. Pairing the vest with perfect accessories only makes for a complete outfit. Black booties, a classic yet edgy purse and a warm beanie solidify the look. Add a simple necklace and bangles for an even more polished vibe.
