I contemplated purchasing this vest for some time. Given that I have a large quantity of vests in my closet (I’d say about 20), I initially found it hard to justify purchasing yet another. That purchasing decision suddenly became easier when the price dropped from $120 to $60. Half Off! Isn’t that the best? This item made its way to my ‘best purchase’ list which is defined by 3 things: quality, price and dopeness. This vest is very versatile and can be paired with just about anything. It can be dressed up or dressed down. And this isn’t your typical plain jane vest. The cutout detail on the side, adds the right amount of uniqueness to turn heads. I paired it with a fitted white top, jeans, and some funky cobalt blue booties.

I have a question. I’ve always wondered if it’s “ok” to wear a coat for outerwear on top of a vest that it a part of the outfit. What’s the rule on this?
Hi Caryce! Great question. It’s totally okay to wear a coat for outerwear on top of a vest, however, you have to be cognizant of the length of the jacket or coat. For example, the vest in these photos is really long, so putting a shorter coat on top of the vest will completely throw off the look. I encourage layering, but it has to be done correctly. If you have an outfit in mind, feel free to send it over via email and I’ll provide some direction!
