The Tailored Vest Has Returned

The vest is a humble hero piece that adds a sense of simplistic style and androgyny, and they are cropping up everywhere this season. This novel item originates from a menswear-infused, three-piece suit. Today, waistcoats are available in endless options: classic cuts with belts in the back, longline double-breasted styles, and even oversized silhouettes.

But what to do with it? How to wear it? Buttoned or unbuttoned? With or without a suit? Watch for three ways to style the tailored vest this season + shop my vest selects!
