What To Wear With A Denim Vest
A denim vest is one of the most indispensable items for in-between seasons like spring, because it adds a layer of warmth without being too bulky. It also brings a touch of cool to virtually any look, from sweet sundresses to sassy maxi skirts.
It's a simple trend to embrace, because not only does it suit any personal style, but it's also easy to incorporate because you likely have one lying around in your closet—and if you don't just chop the sleeves off a jacket you no longer wear. So whether you toss it over a floor-sweeping dress, or pair it with your favorite worn-to-shreds vintage tee, this is a trend that's certainly worth in_vest_ing in.
