Denim vests and sleeveless jackets

The quickest and easiest way to refresh a familiar everyday look is to add an original, stylish element to it, for example, a denim vest or sleeveless jacket. She will look great not only with a white T-shirt and jeans, but also with an elegant dress or a classic blouse.

At first glance, a denim vest can hardly be attributed to any particular style of clothing. It can be an element of cowboy style, or it can be an integral part of rock or punk styles. All we know for sure is that sleeveless jackets and denim vests have firmly and confidently occupied their niche in the women's wardrobe.

• The classic version of the vest is a straight sleeveless denim jacket. Everything is the same as in the jacket - turn-down collar, patch pockets, contrasting color stitching. But the fashion has made its own adjustments to the basic model: scuffs, "torn" holes appeared, the shape of the collar, style, length has changed, original decorative elements have been added.

• In addition to the classic style, other models are popular today, for example, denim biker jacket. This is a fitted jacket with an obliquely sewn zipper. The original model is additionally decorated with metal rivets or other decorations.

• Sleeveless shirt style outwardly very similar to the classic model. There are different lengths, most often - to the middle or just below the thigh

• Shortened models. Such sleeveless jackets outwardly resemble a bolero rather than a vest. Models of this style are complemented by an original collar, small pockets, and interesting decor.

• Fur vests are very popular.... Fur can act as a decorative element for decorating lapels, collars. It can also be used as a lining; it is an option for insulated denim vests.

Classic colors, without which it is impossible to imagine denim items. Light blue sleeveless jackets look very elegant, so they are perfect for a combination with beautiful summer dresses, sundresses, fluffy skirts made of tulle, taffeta, chiffon and other fabrics.

Ideally combined with white tops, T-shirts or T-shirts. Often decorated with fringe or fur.

Black is always relevant. A black denim vest will become a real lifesaver in order to effectively complete a casual, sporty, business or romantic look. She looks great with multi-colored summer dresses, flared plain skirts made of thick material, jeans or dress pants. It goes well with a plain blouse, bright top or white T-shirt. Looks equally appropriate at both formal and informal events.

Another color that is universally suitable for any look and outfit. A snow-white denim vest looks incredibly feminine and elegant. Fittings with a contrasting color, decorative inserts from other materials, and an original cut make the sleeveless jacket even more elegant.

Shortened models are distinguished by a variety of cuts, a wide range of colors, and an abundance of decorative options. A short vest allows you to dilute the strict, formal style and give the look a certain frivolity and romance.

The classic length of vests is appropriate in any situation and with any look. Cropped and elongated models, as a rule, require a certain ensemble of clothing, otherwise the outfit runs the risk of looking tasteless. This does not apply to a mid-length vest. It looks perfect in any combination, be it a strict business look or a frivolous romantic bow.

Long models can sometimes be worn as outerwear on a cool day. An elongated vest is perfectly complemented with a thin jumper or a tight-fitting turtleneck. Outwardly, such a vest resembles, rather, a light coat or raincoat. It goes well with skinny jeans, wide floor length skirts, short shorts, etc.

It is very easy to quickly update a boring thing or give a classic vest an original, unusual design: just add a little decor.

Various options can be used to decorate a denim vest:

• Embroidery with colored threads, ribbons or beads.
• Inserts from materials contrasting in texture and color. Usually dense materials are used for this, such as leather. Vests with inserts of thin, light lace look no less stylish. These models look especially feminine and go well with romantic clothing styles.
• Artificial aging. Scuffs, ripped holes and slots are still at the height of their popularity.
• The use of large, bright or original accessories (buttons of an unusual shape, multi-colored zippers, shiny metal buttons, etc.).
• Thorns. Spiked denim vests have not gone out of style for many years. Spikes can vary in diameter and height, decorate the front of the vest, back, decorate the collar area, etc.
• Rhinestones. One of the most popular and beautiful pieces of jewelry in recent years. Sparkling rhinestone appliqués of different sizes invariably attract attention. Vests trimmed with rhinestones always look especially elegant and sophisticated. Such models are suitable for creating a festive or evening look.

One of the most stylish and popular models in the new season is a cropped, fitted denim vest with a deep V-neck. This style looks great on sleeveless jackets in light blue or navy blue.

Fundamentally different models are relevant - from laconic men's styles to models with yokes, many decorative additions, asymmetric vests.

A combination of different styles is in fashion: a strict straight vest + an airy chiffon dress with a floral print, an elongated denim vest and a white top with black leather shorts.

A denim vest allows not only to beautifully complement the created image, but also to visually correct some problem areas of the figure.

For owners of an inverted triangle shape, a sleeveless jacket will help to visually “correct” broad shoulders and make the image more feminine and delicate.

Vests in dark colors help make a curvy figure slimmer and more graceful.

The vest must definitely fit well to the figure. It is quite simple to check this: you need to try on the model and completely fasten the zipper or buttons. The sleeveless jacket should not puff up or hinder movement, otherwise it will not decorate, but only spoil the created image.

Men's cut denim vest looks very nice with chiffon elegant dresses or sundresses. The dress can be plain or decorated with a small floral pattern. You can add sandals or high-heeled shoes to the outfit.

The most practical and convenient combination: vest + jeans. If the set is supplemented with an elegant top, then in such an outfit you can go to the cinema, sit in a cafe or go to a party. A vest and jeans made of contrasting color material, for example, ink + light blue, go well. The image will be complemented by sneakers, moccasins, ballet flats or slip-ons.

Denim sleeveless jackets can be combined with bright summer trousers and plain tops. Platform sandals and a bright bag complement the look.

Romantic look: mid-length vest + chiffon, lace or silk dress + platform sandals. Modest and tasteful!

Refined evening look: bright red chiffon floor-length dress + cropped blue vest. As accessories - an elegant bright blue clutch and turquoise jewelry.

Option for every day: a little black dress + a blue vest + sandals or shoes with small heels. The vest can be decorated with embroidery, rhinestones or thorns.

Youth style: vest + gray, black or white T-shirt + miniskirt with original print. Sneakers or other flat shoes will complement an informal look.

Another modern option: a snow-white top + leather black mini-shorts + a blue sleeveless jacket decorated with stripes or patches of other materials + sneakers or ballet flats. A voluminous bright bag will complement the look.
