I have been ever so slightly ignoring this trend for a while. Vests and big ol’ boobs are not exactly an iconic pair. Well…okay I mean I guess it depends on who you are asking that question to — but if you are asking me, someone who does not like to her BOBs out there a lot, this trend is just a hard one. For one, the fit seems sus. Trying to get a tight button down to fit is hard enough, why would I try something even smaller and even tighter? I couldn’t answer this question without giving a vest a try, and so I found this one from Reformation and gave it a shot. And…and? I like it. I really do.
Now is this the best vest for my body type? Probs not. It needs to be a bit bigger overall and the crop in the middle is tough. Reformation really does the most to take basic pieces and make them trendy, I know this, you know this. But do I like it anyways? Why yes, yes I do. Turns out I really like this trend, even with my BOBs in the way. I like the play on menswear and I like any option that works well with denim. Now I paired this with my high-waisted (almost skinny let’s be honest) straight leg jean and it’s just a damn good ‘fit. I felt great in this outfit, even with a little midsection showing. Now if I felt like meh, I want less skin I would just place a black camisole underneath the vest or wear.
I think that this is going to be a big trend this fall so I rounded up some of the best ones from around the webs! From Target to J.Crew, Gap to Nordstrom, I’ve got you covered for any budget. This one from Nordstrom is the closest to the Ref one without the midsection cut out that’s under $100. As it turns out, I’m invested in vests this fall.
