I scored big this season with the perfect tailored linen set and it all started because I fell in love with a vest from one of my favorite brands – DL1961 Denim!
Vests entered the fashion group chat in a major way going from trendy to a timeless wardrobe essential. You can find them in a range of fabrics from classic denim to easy linen making them stylish and a breeze to wear. Feel free to style them as a standalone top, a base layer, or as part of a summer suit. Regardless of how you decide to wear it, rest assured this trend is sticking around!
Why did I fall in love with this vest – you may ask? Well, it’s perfectly tailored, neutral in color which means it will blend with anything (shorts, skirts, trousers, even jeans) and provides just the right amount of coverage (peek the daring display of skin due to the top closure buttons). Plus, it doesn’t call for many accessories because this linen fabric screams quiet luxury at its finest. Since purchasing the vest in the spring, I have paired it with matching trousers (for date night) and shorts (for GNO) both by DL1961 and I intent to wear it on repeat (including pairing it with jeans) until the fall. Throw on a pair of open toe platform shoes with the long tailored trousers (btw, who even says trousers anymore, so old-school) or kitten heels for a flirty feel with shorts or skirts. If interested in a more casual style, look no further than the Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle Sandal (in any color really). Seems I’m starting to collect these lately. They are to-die-for comfortable.
Back to the vest set though, I am calling it the suit of the summer! It’s a one-and-done tailored outfit that feels polished and comfortable. Oh, and don’t forget to pair it with some cool shades, and call it a day!
If you don’t already have one, hop on board because the vest has become a foundational part of dressing. So immediately get inspired and invest in this trend-turned-closet-essential.
