The thing about vest top outfits is that they add that perfect casual edge and let you play with layers without feeling stuffy.
Anyway I obviously spent way too much time on Pinterest the other night going down a vest top rabbit hole because if Im gonna bring back this 90s staple I need all the cute modern inspo right?? And wow there was so much good stuff I kept pinning and thinking ok this one for weekend this one for running around town. Here are the vest top outfits that have been inspiring me the most the ones Ive tried or am planning to copy next.
9 Vest Top Outfits That Are Casual And So Cool
Jean Vest Styled with White Tee and Jeans
A jean vest over a white tee with jeans is my ultimate casual throwback look because its double denim but the vest adds that fun layer. I wore my light wash vest with a plain white tee and mom jeans just like this to a casual brunch with friends last weekend and felt so good hanging out all morning. My bestie kept saying how cute and 90s the outfit was and then asked to borrow my vest for her own day out haha. We ended up walking around town after eating and the vest was perfect light for the sun but added that cool edge.
Seriously double denim with vests is forgiving too.
And honestly finding the right wash makes all the difference light for summer dark for fall. Ive collected a few now and rotate them constantly.
