A Vested Interest

Trends come and go, but there are certain classic silhouettes and staples that withstand the test of time and fads. The vest, the more tropic-friendly version of a blazer, is one such piece. Without the stuffiness of a jacket, but adding a polished flair to any casual look, a structured vest is fun to play around with and for layering in this heat. Like statement necklaces, vests can instantly boost a simple outfit, and the best part is that they work well with pants, skirts, or dresses. Neutral-coloured vests are a good investment as they can easily integrate into any wardrobe; pick one in a longer length to visually streamline your look, or wear it belted with a matching pair of tailored pants for an update on the traditional pantsuit.
