Denim vests are a classic wardrobe staple, much like their longer-armed sisters, denim jackets. A good denim vest can be worn and styled in so many different ways. They’re perfect for the warmer weather in the summer when layering can be tricky because you don’t want to wear anything that will make you hot. They’ve also been around forever, and will probably never go out of style.

I love denim vests because you can basically throw them over anything and instantly make an outfit more interesting. It’s definitely something you want in your closet for the summer and beyond – you can layer them over long-sleeves or sweatshirts in the fall and winter to stay cozy. But what are the best ways to style your vest? Here are 20 style tips on how to wear denim vests. You’re welcome!

1. Denim vests look fresh and cute with colorful pants, like these mint green ones. Add a fedora and wedges for a perfect summer look.
