Why You Should Invest in a Vest

Why you should invest in a vest you ask? I wear vests year round. Why? For several reasons…

They are versatile.

They are chic.

They are unexpected (especially when worn by women).

Wear them to work, brunch, lunch, happy hour, dinner, a meeting, wherever. You should have at least one in your closet as they are a wardrobe staple for professionals. Just switch up the top underneath (if you choose to wear one), bottoms and shoes and you can transform the vest for various occasions.

This vest from Express that also has an available matching skirt is a great vest option. I wore the top look to a meeting where I didn’t want to wear a suit, but wanted to still look professional. I’ve worn the next two looks to work. The last two looks are easy causal options. I’m all about getting the most bang for my money and vests allow me to do that. I’ve shown just five ways to wear one vest, but the truth is, the options and combinations are endless.
