The Power Layer: Why Vests Are Everywhere
Let’s get one thing straight: vests are no longer reserved for corporate bros and fly-fishing dads. They’ve had a glow-up. In the new power-dressing landscape, vests have become the It-piece—tailored, cropped, oversized, knit, and styled like a fashion editor who’s too cool to say she tried.
From Paris runways to real-girl wardrobes, this one-and-done layer is changing the way we get dressed. And we’re here for the versatility, the polish, and the attitude it brings to even the simplest outfits.
So, Why Are Vests Having a Moment?
Vests hit that rare sweet spot between chic and functional. They can look both editorial and effortless—just depending on how you wear them. They’re an easy way to add structure to fluid silhouettes or edge to something sweet.
They also fit into the “recession-core” / quiet luxury mood. You can repeat them often, wear them layered or solo, and they instantly elevate even your most basic jeans.
Our Favorite Vest Styles Right Now
Tailored Suit Vests
Buttoned-up and minimal—wear it with matching trousers or over a simple tee and denim. Très cool.
Cropped Knitted Vests
Great over crisp white shirts or layered on a silky dress. Bonus points if it’s cable-knit or textured.
Oversized Utility Vests
Think cargo pockets and boxy fits. Style with a sleek base—like fitted pants or a bodysuit—for contrast.
Silk or Satin Vests
Add a luxe texture to your wardrobe. These pair beautifully with bias skirts or wide-leg trousers.
Leather or Faux-Leather Vests
A little bold, a little rock-and-roll. Throw one over a hoodie or long-sleeve top for a street-style vibe.
Why We’re Obsessed
Vests are the ultimate power move this season. They whisper fashion knowledge without shouting. They work across seasons, across aesthetics, and across moods. And they can easily transform something casual into something sharp with minimal effort.
Whether you’re dressing for the office, weekend brunch, or an “I woke up like this” vibe—there’s a vest for that.
