The vest (some know it as a waistcoat) is a third piece that takes your basic outfit up a notch and makes it something more interesting. Just add one to a plain sweater and jeans combo, or to jeans and a tee. But this post goes beyond that simple combination to give you a couple of style tips and plenty more outfit ideas as well.

This is the fourth in a series of posts on how to add a touch of luxury to your outfits with velvet. Previously, I wrote a style tip and how to style a velvet jacket or top.
