In case you haven't noticed, menswear-inspired pieces have been gaining more traction these days. Take a vest, for example! And no, we’re not talking about knit sweater vests that have become a cozy staple in our closets. We’re talking about the waistcoat type. You know, the button-down ones typically part of a three-piece suit and worn underneath a blazer.
Suit vests are back in style, as first seen in the runways of Saint Laurent, Fendi, Chanel in their Spring 2021 collections. Today, this '90s trend (remember Kate Moss and her obsession for vests?) is coming back as everyone's new chic go-to piece; call it an alternative to the blazer when temperatures rise. This relaxed, borrowed-from-the-boys workwear piece is here to stay, and we found eight ones that will seamlessly fit in your closet.
