Vests have come back into fashion, which we love to see. They used to just be an undergarment, but now they’re so much more than that! We’re not talking about hi vis vests or rash vests, but the fashionable ones, like tank top vests and sweater vests. They’re super stylish basic essentials you need in your wardrobe. The Whering Marketplace is perfect if you’re looking for a place to find sustainable essentials to build up your capsule wardrobe. A vest is the ideal building block to start off an outfit. Let’s talk through how we like to style them. As we said, we’re not interested in hi vis vests - that’s not what this is about. We’re talking about our fave types of vests and how we like to style them. The first type of vest we stan is mens vests. Mens vests were popular back in the day in the 80s and 90s, then they kind of became a no go for most men, up until recently. Vests are a high key vibe. We’re obsessed with men’s vests (but literally anyone can wear a vest, who cares) tucked into some smart suit trousers, paired with doc martens. There’s something about this simple look that’s giving us everything we need for the perfect outfit: nostalgia, comfort, style and contrast. Rash vests are great for when you’re getting involved with water sports, but that’s not really our cup of tea, so you won’t find rash vests on the Whering Marketplace. A cute type of vest you can find on the Whering Marketplace is a sweater vest! They’ve also made a huge comeback since ASAP Rocky wore one on a date with Rhiannah. Some might even say the sweater vest has been and gone out of fashion, but we’re all about loving what we love, regardless of trends. A sweater vest looks amazing on anyone, it’s a subtle way to show your edge and softer side all at once. We love pairing sweater vests with basically anything, but one of our favourite ways to style them is to wear them with a pair of wide leg denim jeans or shorts. Long shorts and a sweater vest is a serious serve in our opinion. Sweater vests are also great to layer during the colder months. Pair with turtlenecks for that preppy look or simply add a long sleeve top underneath for some pattern or colour. Cropped sweater vests are such a vibe when going out. They’ll help you achieve the low key yet still fashionable and fancy going out look which we love. A sweater vest is a big vibe, whenever you choose to wear it.
