2024 Summer Trend: VESTS & How to wear them?

I like to think of myself as being a pretty savvy fashion person, at least in the past, and at least in theory moreso than in practice. So I will confess that the above title is tricky… cause you see… vests are neither a hot trend anymore (I am the one to arrive a little late to this party) nor are they a summer staple…

But what are they?

They came back into fashion as a HOT IT thing circa 2022-2023 but back then I had no time to write and a part of me never truly thought vests would stick again in fashion tbh. But as all 90’s and 2000’s things… they did, and here we are, 2 years post the first button down vest instagram moment – still wearing and loving vests in summer.

Button down vests in summer are the more polished, more rich, luxe, elegant and smart version of the tank top vests. They look great! and I mean great! for office in summer, they look great for a casual look, and they are a classic item as much of a 90s fashion lover as we are – button down vests are classic.

How to wear vests this summer?

For office or just an overall smarter more polished look opt for pairing them with suit trousers or skirts. Think of to as an updated version of the 1940’s suits Katherine Hepburn used to wear.

For a more casual look pair them with jeans, a denim skirt.

For a 90s meets 2000’s Brittany Spears inspired look opt for vests and low rise bottoms.

For a casual summer beach inspired look – think rich coastal meets boho chic – choose linen fabrics and wear them slightly oversized.

The shoes always set the tone and so does the fit: oversized or more fitted, so play around with vests and have fun.

The return of the vest only strengthens my hoarding believes and tendencies even more – I used to own 2 such vests. Never in a million years I thought they’d come back yet here we are. (adds vests to cart)

HBU?
