How to Style a Vest ? 25 Best Outfit Ideas for Women

One of the best things about vests is how they can transform the look of a person completely. They are a staple clothing item in the winter. However, contrary to what most people believe, a vest made of light material can also be worn in summer!

Styling Tips

  • Wear a plain vest with a printed shirt and a printed one with a plain shirt. Both the garments can be plain as well.
  • A vest is a sleeveless upper and it should be worn with a sleeveless, full, or three-quarter sleeves shirt. Short-sleeved shirts rarely look good with vests.
  • Wearing baggy jeans with an oversized vest isn’t a decision you should make. Only a jock can rock that look.
  • Make sure you don’t pair colors that don’t go with each other.
  • If wearing a puffer vest, keep the rest of your look fitted to avoid unnecessary bulk.
