Best 2013 Spring and Summer Vests

A cool vest is an essential layering piece for the spring and summer months, bringing structure, polish, and a city chic appeal to the season’s floaty, girly pieces. From floral dresses to your white jeans or maxi skirt, they are a fun way to pull your spring look together.

Here are four super-chic ways to wear this must have from FINE Magazine:

1. Belted Vest

Belt a somewhat looser vest at your natural waist for a timeless look that, when work with a fitted tee and narrow pants or jeans, is perfect for the office.

2. Denim Vest

Worn with lacy white shorts, a simple black tee, and booties or sandals, the denim vest look is super cute when worn for concerts and other outdoor activities.

3. Black Vest

A slouchy dress looks youthful and relaxed when paired with a black vest, as well as pointy pumps to keep the look feminine.

4. The Vest-shirt

When the weather really starts to heat up, and layering one thing sounds intolerable, make your vest your one-and-only top (assuming the cut keeps you suitably covered up!). 

5. Utilitarian-style Vest

Add edge to your party dress by wearing a utilitarian-style vest over it, as well as a pair of booties to foster the cool-girl vibe.
