The key to styling a vest this summer is to consider it a top. A women’s vest worn solo will elevate your everyday staples or add some sex appeal to your suit-ing. If you’re busty or don’t want to show so much skin, wear an understated ribbed tank top like this one sale at Saks. I personally love a little lace trim bra or bralette peeking out under mine.

My most popular styling tip for effortlessly making outfits that never fail to look good is to match your top and bottom. A monochromatic column of color works with any layer you choose to wear with it. This includes a vest! Steal some styling inspiration from my First Look at Fall Capsule Wardrobe lookbook.

A tailored vest will help define your waist so you can wear one over any style top. Have fun with proportions. Play with pretty puff sleeves and button-ups with long shirt tails.

If you want to try a tee one that mimics your vest’s neckline is the most flattering but crew neck style work as well.
