How to Style a Vest: 5 Spring Outfits to Try
A vest is a versatile and somewhat ambiguous piece of clothing. Whether it’s stylish, classic, military-inspired, or feminine, it can be quite challenging to figure out what to pair it with and how to choose the perfect vest that complements your body type. We’ve decided to tackle this capricious garment and show you how to create a feminine and elegant spring outfit with vests of any style and cut.
Long Vest
A long vest is a highly practical addition to your wardrobe. It can serve as outerwear or complement your everyday look, and it can also help correct your figure. A vest that flares out at the bottom balances your shoulders and hips, and adding a belt can accentuate your waist. For a casual look, opt for a long vest in a light shade, a sweater or a light jumper in a matching or neutral tone, classic black pants, and delicate suede pumps with a strap. Soft, feminine colors and fabrics are an excellent choice for your spring wardrobe.
Quilted Vest
A quilted vest, rugged and angular, is one of the top trends in outerwear this season. You can pair it with casual sportswear or feminine and delicate pieces. In this outfit, a large quilted vest looks great with a delicate tulle dress, stylish leggings, and a neat bra. To complete this mixed look, choose sneakers instead of high heels. This way, you can combine charming femininity with comfort and practicality.
Military Vest
Military-style clothing is a classic that has stood the test of time. Given that khaki is one of the most popular shades this season, acquiring a vest in this style is a great idea. To soften the deliberately strict and masculine vest, pair it with a light dress featuring a geometric pattern made of thin, flowing fabrics. If you choose a long vest, the dress should not be too short. For medium and short vests, a midi or mini dress is an excellent choice. To complete the look, add some metallic elements: silver shoes, gold-plated jewelry, and a bag in bronze or subdued khaki.
Classic Vest
A classic short vest with a checkered print is not just a classic but also a hit this spring. An outfit with this piece of clothing will help you easily transition from your winter wardrobe to your spring one. Pair a short classic vest with classic pants or culottes and a strict shirt in neutral tones. To add a touch of spice to the look, choose high heels in a bright color. This way, you’ll achieve a strict work outfit with a spring mood.
Wool Vest
The practicality of a long vest also lies in the fact that in some cases, it can be worn on its own. In the case of the wool vest presented in this outfit, you can see that a strict and unobtrusive piece of clothing can turn into an evening look. A vest with shoulder pads and an original belt in a delicate sandy-gray shade will look good with pumps and high-heeled sandals and a restrained handbag. For added sensuality, add bright red lipstick.
