The vest is a trend , in fact, you could say that the vest is the new basic top. During the confinement we saw how this garment was sneaking into the Spring / Summer 2020 collections that we had not seen for a long time. Little by little the success of the vest in Instagram looks was increasing and brands such as Massimo Dutti bet heavily on it. It has become one of the most acclaimed garments by fashionistas, and no wonder!

With a classic essence, the vest is no longer only worn under a blazer or with a suit jacket, the vest already has its own personality and looks like a sophisticated top. Some of those who have already worn it? On the one hand, the influencer Álex Riviere, has worn it with jeans and shorts, showing that it can be worn more formally or more casually. 

The model Marta Ortiz is another of those who has opted for a vest , in this case white, to give us a multitude of ideas on how to combine it. With white pants, to match the vest, or with other feminine garments that also combine well. The key is to add timeless garments and accessories that do not detract from it. 

We have made a selection of vests so you can get a new one for your next outfits , as well as looks to give you ideas and to inspire you. Shall we start?

Vest and jeans

We had already told you that Álex Riviere showed that the vest is the new top , and here is the proof. In this case with a Massimo Dutti vest, which he combined with flared jeans with rips on the knee. A simple and stylish look, like all his outfits.

The vest, for its classic touch, is great for those who have a wardrobe full of timeless and sophisticated garments … Although Álex shows that with a trendy garment, the result is just as stylish.

Beige vest with double button

If you liked Álex's look, in El Corte Inglés we have found this beige double-breasted vest with which you can replicate the style.

Earth-toned vest

In Mango we find the classic version of the vest, with buttons and in sand tones. In the lookbook they combine it on top of a blouse but we like the trend of wearing it as a top. With nothing underneath and giving it prominence. How about combining it with slouchy jeans in white?

Mango vest, € 39.95

One of those who wears a vest the most on social networks is the model Marta Ortiz. Its classic and timeless style is the most elegant and clear, the vest defends it like nobody else. We like the way they combine it: with naive touches –thanks to the wicker basket– and feminine garments like the skirt. We copy the entire look!

Vest with front pockets

A little longer than the one Marta is wearing, but we love it. With two pockets, tortoiseshell buttons and! Can we ask for something more?

Knitted vest

Knitted vest

Here is a white knitted vest that you can find at Zara. Whether you want to replicate the previous look or if you want to wear it with flared, high-cut jeans and colored sandals, this is the garment you need!

Fantasy vest

If you thought that the vests could only be in a neutral tone, mistake! Look what a wonder we have found. The sequins will add a festive touch to any look you add this vest to. It is reduced to 50% so it will probably be sold out soon …

The option that we like the most to wear the vest is this, with matching pants with the top and that can be accompanied, even with a blazer. A sophisticated look to rage for a night -or a day- that we want to go groundbreaking. In this case we would add wedge espadrilles in a striking color such as red.

Massimo Dutti gilet, € 29.95 (was € 59.95)

Safari style linen waistcoat

Safari style linen waistcoat

Linen is one of the materials we see the most in summer , so it is normal to find a vest made of this material. The original thing about this garment are its four pockets, so if we flee from the more classic vests, this is a good option. Great to combine with any linen pants that we have in the closet.

Alex Mill vest, € 53.77 (was € 134.44)

Black fitted vest

If there is a vest that we want to wear in night looks, it is this fitted and slightly cropped. We imagine him wearing black shorts or palazzo pants in a striking shade such as mustard or fuchsia.

Denim vest with zip

All the vests we are selecting have a classic style and we wanted to finish giving this trend a spin and choose this Wrangler denim vest. If you want to go for a different style, go for this model! You can wear it like the model, with a basic shirt and jeans, or wear it over a short lady dress.

Denim vest with ethnic embroidery

Pepe Jeans goes a step further and proposes this denim vest with ethnic embroidery that, the truth, has not fallen in love. Although you could wear it now with tops and dresses, the fabric is thick so you will get more out of it in autumn on a blouse, sweater or dress.
