In-between seasons, it’s nearly impossible to predict what to wear. The best way to look your best — without overheating or freezing — is to wear a vest.
Believe it or not, vests go well with everything. Cute dress? Check. Jeans and T-shirt? Check. Pant suits? Check. Plus, they can easily be thrown into your bag if the sun decides to shine bright.
Below are five different ways to warm up during the winter/spring transition with a vest (as modeled by our favorite fashion bloggers).
1. Faux-Fur
Nothing yells warm and fashionable more than a faux fur vest! Emily, the blogger behind The Sweetest Thing, shows us how to get the cute and cozy look with faux-leather leggings and a white tunic.
2. Denim
Saturday brunch, anyone? Jony van Stralen, the blogger behind Shout-Out to You, is denim vest perfection. If you’re not ready to let your all-black outfit go yet, give denim vests a try.
