It’s hard to go wrong with a minimal black and white monochrome look.  Black slacks are always a classic, but a new staple for work wear is the white vest.  Don’t be overwhelmed by the thought of trying to wear a white vest to the office, even if you’re an engineer like myself and every outfit is at risk of being severely stained.  The great thing about a white vest is that it’s more versatile than most women think.  Here are my tips on how to wear a white vest:

  1. Monochrome.  The easiest way to incorporate a white vest that’s easy yet chic is with a monochrome look. Bonus points for pairing it with other white pieces instead of mixing black and white!
  2. Wear it as a top.  Skip layering all together when it’s warm out and style it as a blouse instead.  Wear it with jeans for a dressy yet casual vibe or with some fun work pants for a fashion forward office outfit.
  3. Layer it.  Instead of just layering it over a plain tee or blouse, spice it up by wearing over a body suit or a textured sweater to give your look more depth.

The most important thing when adding an item like this white vest is to make sure you choose the right fit, especially in brighter colors and prints.  You want to be sure it flatters your figure to ensure that your outfit looks polished.  Remember it’s about how you feel, so make sure whatever you wear feel confident!  See how you can wear your white vest in the summer.
