Let’s talk about jean vests today. Vests are a fashion staple- they are timeless, classic and add an interesting third piece to complete an outfit. Jean vests are really making a resurgence. They are a great addition to your wardrobe, instantly elevating and adding visual interest to your outfits. The versatility of a jean vest also adds to its value. We are sharing a guide and styling tips on how to style a jean vest based on its profile and for different occasions.
How To Style A Jean Vest
Jean vests are a current item in style for summer and fall. The variety of profiles offers the versatility to style them for a casual to a more elevated look. Right now the denim on denim look is popular. If you want to try this look, but are a bit hesitant- adding a vest is one way to step into it.
Are Jean Vests Still in Style
Yes, jean vests are still in style. Really, they never went out of style, but for Fall, they are a big trend. Consider wearing a dark wash jean vest right now with white jeans with a cami underneath and into fall with ecru jeans and a long sleeve white top. The longer jean vest with the cut away profile would look good paired with a wide leg trouser pant, midi skirt or dress. Also, think of adding a jean vest instead of a denim jacket. They really are versatile and have become a renewed wardrobe staple. Below are more ideas.

Jean Vests With A Dress
Styling a jean vest with a dress allows you to use either a cropped vest or a longer vest. We love a dark wash paired with this deep burgundy dress and accessories. Burgundy is a big color for the Fall. Click on any photo below for more details.
Jean Vest With A Dress
Here’s another look to wear now and into Fall. Here’s a styling tip for wearing a vest over a dress that has a cap sleeve, make sure the sleeve on the dress extends far enough done the arm and fits the arm hole on the vest. You want to avoid a bunched up look- it looks wonky and is probably uncomfortable. This outfit idea would be great for a work to night out look. Click on any photo below for all the information.
