Best Quality Vests You Can Buy
Here I am wearing Rocky Mountain Featherbed Teton Down Vest in Emerald color
Autumn is the ideal time to wear a vest, as it’s a transitional season with many warmer days that don’t yet require a jacket. Most people pick vests in the same colors as the rest of their wardrobe, treating them like any other piece of clothing. But I think vests are perfect in bold, bright colors since they don’t cover your whole upper body. Unlike a jacket, a vest only takes up part of your body, leaving your sleeves exposed, which makes it easier to experiment with color. I prefer vests in brighter colors because they add a vintage or old-school vibe to a casual outfit. For example, a red, orange, or yellow vest can go with almost anything. I would split vests into two types: 'standard' vests and 'mid-layer' vests for layring under a jacket or coat. Standard vests are great as outerwear, while mid-layer vests are thinner with a V-neck, so they fit smoothly under a jacket without sticking out. Below are the best options available today.
