Bringing Vests Back
Justin Timberlake didn’t just bring sexy back. He also helped start a fashion trend with classy suits, old-fashioned fedoras and – of course – vests. It’s a style that easily translates to the feminine take on menswear, as seen on celebrities like Blake Lively.
So why wear a vest?
- They’re great for layering pieces all year ’round. Wear one over a long-sleeved shirt when the weather gets cold, or cover up when those hot summer days cool down. Whatever the weather, a vest is a fashionable choice.
- If you need to pull an outfit together, a vest can help anchor a look – or create a new one.
- Vests are a staple choice for any wardrobe. They can flawlessly move from outfit to outfit, creating unique looks depending on what it’s paired with. Whether it be with shorts, skinny jeans, a dress – or over a tank top or a blouse – you’ll never run out of ways to wear your vest!
