How I’d Style a Cute Denim Vest

It’s almost summer, which means the weather is becoming increasingly hotter. In my attempt to put away my infamous denim jackets, I have been looking to purchase a denim vest to replace them. Well, I actual ordered one a few hours before writing this blog. As I always do before making any clothing purchase, I hit up Pinterest for “pinspiration” to make sure I will be able to style the item.

What does that mean? I simply go onto Pinterest and look at my Fashion Boards to see what outfit inspirations I have pinned or search the item if I don’t have any pins for that item. I check to see if I already have other clothing pieces to wear with the wanted item or if I would need to purchase an entire outfit. If it seems like this piece is something I will get a lot of use for, I will purchase it (unless I really really want to have it). I started this process because I would buy clothes that I thought I needed, and find them hanging in the closet months later with the tags still on them because I had absolutely nothing to wear with them. To aid in this process, I try to only pin outfit inspirations on Pinterest with clothing pieces similar to what I already have.

Matching a denim vest is pretty easy since it is a staple piece. You may simply wear it with what you would wear a denim jacket with. Of course that was not my plan. I wanted to create “newer” looks for me to wear to my casual summer job and to hang out on the weekends. I had several pins from the past for denim vest on my board, but I found some really cute looks by searching denim vest. Here are some looks I got from Pinterest:

I love the versatility of the denim vest. You can basically layer them over any piece to add interest. They’re something you want in your closet not just for the spring and summer, you can layer them over long-sleeves in the fall and winter to stay cozy and stylish. Which look is your favorite?
