Okay, so I’ve been seeing black vests everywhere lately and I finally decided to give the trend a try. I wasn’t sure how to style it at first, so I did a little digging and experimenting. Here’s how it went:
Phase 1: The Inspiration Hunt
First, I scrolled through Pinterest and Instagram. I saved a bunch of pictures of outfits with black vests that I liked. I noticed a few common themes:
- Layering: Most outfits used the vest as a layering piece, over a t-shirt, a button-down shirt, or even a thin sweater.
- Casual Vibes: A lot of the looks were pretty casual, paired with jeans or casual pants.
- Some Dressier Options: I also saw a few examples where the vest was dressed up with a skirt or slacks.
Phase 2: Digging Through My Closet
Next, I raided my own closet to see what I could work with. I already had a black vest I’d gotten, so I pulled that out. Then I grabbed a few other things I thought might work:
- A plain white t-shirt.
- A striped long-sleeve shirt.
- My favorite pair of dark-wash jeans.
- A flowy, printed skirt that black color.
- Black Ankle Boots.
Phase 3: Trying Stuff On
Time for the fun part! I started experimenting with different combinations. Some were total misses (that striped shirt and vest combo? Nope!), but I found a few I really liked:
- The Classic: White t-shirt, black vest, jeans, and boots. Simple, but it worked!
- Slightly Dressier: changed different t-shirt and added some necklaces. It felt a little more put-together.
- Unexpectedly Cool: I threw the vest on, and it actually looked pretty cute! I add a belt.
Phase 4: The Verdict
I’m officially a black vest convert! It’s way more versatile than I thought. I can wear it to run errands, go out to lunch, or even dress it up a bit for a casual dinner. I’m excited to keep experimenting with different outfits and see what else I can come up with!
And I took some picture about what I did, maybe it is helpful for you.
