3 ways to style a vest this summer

the vest is that piece this summer — effortless, structured, and so easy to style

3 ways I’m wearing it on repeat:

Look 1 (casual everyday):

• linen vest + relaxed jeans

→ easy, cool, and slightly elevated basic

Look 2 (elevated chic):

• vest + statement maxi skirt

→ instantly looks styled with minimal effort

Look 3 (light summer set):

• vest + matching shorts

→ breathable, polished, perfect for warm days

... Read moreVests have truly become a summer staple, and I love how versatile they are. One of my favorite tips is to mix textures when pairing your vest with other items. For instance, combining a linen vest with denim or cotton helps keep the outfit breathable and comfortable, especially on hot days. For an even cooler vibe, layering a slightly oversized vest over a light, fitted tee adds structure without sacrificing comfort. If you want to elevate it further, accessorize with minimalist gold jewelry or a straw hat for a perfect summer aesthetic. Statement maxi skirts paired with simple vests are a fantastic way to look polished effortlessly. I recently found that floral or bold patterned maxi skirts bring out the minimal style of plain vests beautifully, creating a fresh yet chic look without much fuss. Finally, matching vest and short sets are my go-to for a light and breezy summer fit. They not only keep you cool but also look super put-together. I recommend fabric blends like cotton-linen for breathability combined with structured tailoring to keep the look polished. Brands like Peppermayo and Topshop have excellent pieces in sizes like XS that fit well and bring style and comfort together. Plus, layering or mixing these pieces allows for multiple outfit variations. Summer styling doesn’t have to be complicated when you have versatile basics like these. Overall, vests are easy to dress up or down and can be adapted to any personal style, making them a key item to own this season.
