When it comes to Fall and Winter, one of things that I look forward to most is layering my clothes. This involves scarves, jackets, tons of comfy shirts, leggings, tights, dresses, tops, jeans, yoga pants, you name it! However, rarely does the word vest come into mind. I know that whenever I hear it, I think of a big puffy vest that would be out of place with what I’m wearing. But there are many reasons why vests are awesome!
1) Vests come in many styles such as a denim vest, a fur vest, a leather vest, a puffer vest, the list goes on and on! You have your choices when it comes to picking one, so check them out. I really like a denim vest with an A-line long sleeve black dress, a white t-shirt and black jeans, or over a striped nautical shirt.
2) They can be unexpected and add some character to your outfit! If you feel like you’re missing a layer, try adding a vest. I know that I was never adventurous enough to try them out, but I’ve realized that they can be useful in making my outfit more complete.
3) Vests keep you warm. My roommate has a cute Patagonia vest that she never wears and that all of the girls in our quad find themselves borrowing on a cold night! This comes in handy during a late night walk to the library or on a quick shopping run. You will feel so much happier when you’re warm when it’s cold out.
4) Coats can be bulky and overbearing and vests can fix that problem. They can replace a coat. Vests can probably keep you warm enough, so your coat can be left hanging nicely in your closet back in your room.
