Now that warmer weather has finally arrived we can loose those jackets and coats that were so necessary during the colder months. Without those pieces you loose some of the items that can help you create beautiful layered looks. A cooler, more practical clothing piece to use now is the vest. A vest is a piece that can transform some clothes into a real outfit. They are so versatile and come in so many designs and colors that anyone can find one that they simply love as the pictures above show that your vest can be military, pattern, or sequin inspired.
