Short vests offer a tailored look in a geeky sort of fashion. They are great with pants (both skinny and wide), dresses and skirts. My personal pick is Ella Moss for affordability and versatility. But, Marc by MJ is most funky and fun!-left to right top row: Ella Moss $99, DVF $245, Ralph Laurent $250.
-left to right bottom row: Marc by MJ $298, Ralph Laurent leather vest $498
However, for me, I prefer the longer vest with a pair of straight leg jeans or legging and flats. A gal just wants to be comfortable in her upmost savvy nerdy style. My personal pick is the grey Theory vest with the scarf for $315 with a pair of jeans for everyday. To dress it up for dinner out, layer the vest over a cute top and skinny pants with heels.-top row left to right: Theory $395, Milly $475
-bottom row left to right: Theory $315, 3.1 Philip Lim $525
Are you a vest gal and long or short?

Hi there-a great trend, I have 2 I want to wear for Autumn, a sequin vintage one and a Jean Paul Gaultier short style one-a great post!!
ReplyDeleteI am such a nerd too. I like long sweater vest too.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to find the perfect vest, but I'm soooo picky - and broke!
ReplyDeleteI am not a vest gal, but maybe I will try it in the store before I completely rule it out.
ReplyDeleteIs it really in now? I wear my silk vest all the time. usually i wouldn't care whether it's in or not but it's good to know that it's in. :) short one for me.
ReplyDeleteI love short vest!! I´ve got several and I use them as lot. The long ones aren´t for me because I´m not tall ;-(
ReplyDeletekss from Spain
I've got a short knitted orange one, but I'd like to get a tailored one.

I love the look of vests and I'm glad they're back in style! I like the long and short and have both styles in my closet! Goes to show if you hang on to anything long enough it'll come back into style! :D
ReplyDeletethis is actually my first time even seeing longer vests and i'm all about them!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear we can still rock the vest this fall!
ReplyDeleteVery savvy!
ReplyDeleteI am a short vest gal, but I hope to foray into the long vest look too!
Love that DVF!

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteI also love a good sweater vest, especially the ones that are more of a cardigan or wrap style. Comfy, cozy, & quite cute when done right.
I used to wear the shorter, menswear-ish vests, so I'll have to see how I feel about them this time around.
Great page!
I love vests but I can't seem to pull them off very well. But if I can choose. I like the idea of a lnog vest :)

I've been after a vest for awhile. I'd like to pick up one of these, that's for sure.
ReplyDeletemost of my vests are short ones but i am looking forward to finding a long sweater vest.
ReplyDeletelong ones for sure.
ReplyDeletei have both and like them for different days - the long one is for the days i feel like covering my butt and the short one for when i feel like showing it off! :)
ReplyDeletethe fashion maven: how true!!!
ReplyDeletei have resurrected my vests from the darkest corner of the closet!
I actually bought my first vest today. I can't wait to wear it. I love the vests that you've featured here =)
ReplyDeleteAt first I hated the long vests but on second look, they look like so much fun! I've had my one and only vest for years and I still love how it had smartened or punked up my outfits!
ReplyDeleteI really like short vests :)
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking that I want to be a vest girl but I don't know if I can pull it off! Thinking that the long would fit my proportions better.
ReplyDeletelove this trend!!! school's just started and already i've seen tons of people wearing vests, i can tell it'll be a big hit this year!!! xoxo, lulu ♥
ReplyDeleteLove the vest trend, but prefer the shorter ones =)
ReplyDeleteI like these wonderful short vests!I'm lucky 'cause my mother has a lot of vintage vests,I will try them:)
