How to Wear a Denim Vest Your Own Special Way
Koret Stretch Jean Vest from Old Pueblo
Denim vests aren’t just for biker babes or cowgirls! This staple updates classic outfits, making them look more stylish, and can even add a layer of warmth. Age doesn’t matter.
Usually we think of wearing a denim vest on laid-back days. But it can also dress down something fancy so that you can wear your special clothes anytime.
On cold days, you can add a denim vest under a jean jacket, or wear it over a cozy sweater with a scarf.
Besides denim blue, it comes in colors, patterns and sometimes with embroidery.
Unless the denim vest comes with matching jeans, it looks best with jeans in a different color or at least a different shade of blue. It’s nice to let it stand alone as one denim piece and pair it with bottoms in a different material, like faux leather or ponte knit. I would even dare say you could wear it with lace or chiffon or tulle.
