Denim vests aren’t just for biker babes or cowgirls!  This staple updates classic outfits, making them look more stylish, and can even add a layer of warmth.  Age doesn’t matter.

Usually we think of wearing a denim vest on laid-back days.  But it can also dress down something fancy so that you can wear your special clothes anytime.

On cold days, you can add a denim vest under a jean jacket, or wear it over a cozy sweater with a scarf.

Besides denim blue, it comes in colors, patterns and sometimes with embroidery.

Unless the denim vest comes with matching jeans, it looks best with jeans in a different color or at least a different shade of blue.  It’s nice to let it stand alone as one denim piece and pair it with bottoms in a different material, like faux leather or ponte knit.  I would even dare say you could wear it with lace or chiffon or tulle.
