3 Reasons To Buy A Vest Dress This Summer

I’ll be the first to admit that I was so skeptical about vest dresses before and even after I bought one. I had seen so many other women wearing this style and I loved how it looked on them! I just had major doubts that I’d be able to pull it off. When Abercrombie was having a sale last month I decided to pull the trigger and order one online - there was no harm in that, right? I tried it on as soon as it arrived and even after I stared at myself in the mirror for several minutes, I still was on the fence.

Whenever I’m unsure about a clothing item I always post a poll on my Instagram stories to ask for your opinion because it always helps me so much! You all voted for me to keep the dress so that’s what I did. 😊🫶🏻 I’m honestly so glad I kept it because this style has grown on me so much since that first try-on and now I’m a huge fan! So much so that I’m here to tell you 3 reasons why you should get one too! 🤗

It’s a modern spin on an LBD

Normally when I think of a little black dress I think of a style that’s more appropriate for a night out, maybe something short and strappy or with some bling. I love that this vest dress style feels more daytime and can be worn casually with sandals or even sneakers. This sleek silhouette feels so chic and put together without trying hard at all; the dress speaks for itself and by adding a few minimal accessories you’re ready to walk out the door!

It’s workwear appropriate

You can easily wear this dress to work with some ballet flats or pointed-toe heels and a cardigan or blazer. The neckline isn’t super plunging and the length isn’t too short, making it a great office attire option. The best part is you can take your layering piece off after work and you’ll be ready for happy hour! 🥂

It’s on trend for the season

Suiting has been making a huge comeback over the last year as we’ve seen more matching suit sets and vests being worn on the runways and the streets. Tailored pieces can instantly elevate your outfit and make you look put together with minimal effort required, and because it’s on trend you’ll look extra stylish!
