how to wear a quilted vest

A vest can be an easy way to add a layer, for style or warmth. They make so many different styles and “degrees of puffiness,” but I prefer a more lightweight version, like this gray quilted one I’ve had for a few years.

However, no matter the style of vest you prefer, any of these outfit ideas will work for layering with a quilted vest. Here are some ideas for how to wear a quilted vest without looking bulky.

I’m not going into an office right now, but I still like to look presentable for video calls (and just to feel more productive). I love the cozy look of a plaid flannel shirt with a vest and jeans.

{weekend casual}

I love the look of a vest with a casual striped tee, leggings, and sneakers. This is the perfect for a weekend in, but still put-together enough if you need to run to the grocery store.

I love how easy it is to add some fun accessories and bright shoes to give this vest a totally different look.
