Toss your jackets and welcome denim blue vests back into your wardrobe for a dose of chic layering this season. For a few fashion tips on how to style a jean vest, please read on.
Denim vest is an all-time basic staple for when light layering is desired for effect. Light cotton blend denim vests are made for summer styling and can be worn as temperature dips towards the evening.
Back in the 90s, denim vests were one of the few significant fashion trends that were worn by a few of my school mates. Besides straight cut jeans and denim jacket, the vest was something to layer over a tee. Not only appreciated by the girls, the denim vest were also worn by boys in high school where the cut was less fitted, more raggedy.
A denim vest is the inevitable branch from the great big tree of denim fashion that is forever embedded in the human psyche. Although all things made in denim are typically associated with relaxed wear but of late, denim is balancing the dressiness of an outfit with a touch of unexpected comfort and ease.
Just recently, Ellen Page brought the denim vest back into the fashion equation when she wore it as part of her casual wear layered over a tee and ripped jeans as she stepped out for iced coffee with her female companion.
How to wear denim vest?
Besides the casual look that the jean vests have been routinely made a part of, scroll below for fashion tips on other ways that you can wear them this summer:
Wear your denim vest over a pretty twirly dress and heels for an evening date with your friends and loved ones. Just like jackets, vests come in a range of length. A denim vest with a cropped style is a perfect layering option for when you are clad in a mini skater dress.
In need of a waist definition? Pick the thinnest of belt to go around your curve.

Here’s another similar way to sport the denim vest when you are wearing a skater dress. While a longer jean vest can top off the look, you may want to consider how it looks on your body shape. A cropped denim vest worn unbuttoned that grazes your waistline is a worthy partner for a skater dress as your it highlights your feminine frame.
Finish off with sandals or sneakers for a look that is playful and summer-perfect.

Top it off with a fuss-free denim vest in that classic shade of blue. Keep it all very minimal by slinging a crossbody bag and slipping your feet into a pair of laced up shoes for a comfy chic style rendition.

For a summery fun style that features textural edge and exotic Aztec print in colorful neon, look to Shalex as she nails it all down in her outfit. She wears her denim vest over a knitted tank and a pair of vibrant shorts in neon Aztec motif for a look that is not only fresh but visually-intriguing too.
Her footwear of choice to complete the eye-catching look is a pair of slip-on sandals unlike any other as it’s rendered in a striking gold and black color block effect.

A denim vest can be worn over a maxi dress with high slits. Instead of a slouchy long vest design, pick a fitted one that ends just above or on your waistline to maintain your feminine silhouette. If you are petite, this is particularly important so that you don’t lose the extra inches from your height.
Consider also the maxi dress style. Is it waist-defining or in a straight cut? With the latter, you may want to define your waistline with a thin belt.
