How to Wear Vests for Fall
Seemingly a simple separate ideal for layering, the vest is the secret sauce to any functional wardrobe. It’s a garment that oscillates between outer and inner-wear—and with this one piece, you can achieve a myriad of looks. This past season we saw vests gain traction in a variety of silhouettes and styles, and it’s safe to say that the trend is sticking around for Fall/Winter. Menswear versions are worn as tops, oversized gilets complete classic shirting, quilted duvet-style vests layered over little dresses—the possibilities are endless. As a bonus, vests offer a layer of warmth as temperatures drop. Donning a vest can feel formal (i.e. as part of your three-piece suit a la ’70s) or casual (think utility and safari styles), but always versatile.
