Vests are useful as both outerwear and innerwear, and are a great way to add a twist to your styling!
A vest can be worn over a T-shirt or shirt to refresh the look of a coordinated outfit, and is also useful as an inner layer for a jacket. In fact, the more fashionable you are, the more likely you are to be wearing a vest, as it gives your outfits a sophisticated look. With a wide range of style options, including dress, casual, and outdoor wear, it is important to determine the vest that best suits your personal tastes and to incorporate it wisely. In this issue, we will navigate through the techniques for wearing vests, focusing on how to wear vests as outer shells for the easiest coordination.
Point 1: “Choose a vest with multiple pockets/utility pockets to inject the essence of the outdoors into your coordinate.
Vests with multiple pockets, such as utility vests and fishing vests, are perfect for injecting the essence of the outdoors into men’s outfits, and can be worn over a simple outfit, such as a T-shirt, to completely change the look. The increased storage capacity also makes it a good choice for men who prefer not to carry a bag when going out.
Dressing point (2): “Create a unified look by blending the vest and bottoms in the same color.
Vests are often felt to be more difficult to wear than other types of clothing. If you want to blend in with the styling without feeling uncomfortable, it is a good idea to combine the vest and bottoms in the same color. It is easier to achieve an overall balance if the innerwear is the same color as the bottoms than if the innerwear is the same color as the bottoms. A simple plain white or black inner T-shirt will do.
Dressing Point 3: “Refresh the impression by setting a plain vest on a patterned top!
A plain vest is perfect for creating a fashionable look by keeping the assertiveness of a patterned top in check. The trick is to choose a vest that links with the color of the pattern. As shown in this snapshot, a monotone color scheme is the best way to achieve an urban and fashionable layered vest coordinate.
