While it seems as though the season for vests has come and gone, more and more people have started wearing them deep into the colder winter months. Although they aren’t particularly warm, when paired with a cozy sweater or a long sleeved fleecy shirt your ensemble may just be warm enough. There are two different kinds of vests, the fashionable stylish vest, and the more high-end nature-y vest. Both are acceptable, but each respectfully has their own vibe.

No one makes a better fashionable vest than J. Crew. While J. Crew comes out with slightly different styles every year, there’s no denying that their vests are the best.

Pair this beauty with a tight sweater, jeans and some Frye boots, and you’re ready for a day out and about. These vests can be worn casually with a long sleeved t-shirt, leggings and Uggs, or with something a little dressier.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for an outdoorsy vest, Patagonia has fleecy vests that will allow you to hike all the way up that mountain and look good doing it.

This fleecy goodness is perfect for anything from a hike to apple picking. For the ultimate outdoors look, couple this vest with a long sleeved t-shirt, leggings and Hunter rain boots. No matter which type of vest you like best (you can always rock both), throw one on. Their comfort and versatility make them essential for every woman’s closet.
