Wednesday: Vests for Men!

As you seen yesterday, vests are quite versatile when it comes to fashion. For the men we are going to break down the different ways that you can wear these amazing pieces of clothing. Just like we normally do, we will give you the casual way to wear your vest as well as a way to dress them up! Also, to change things up a bit, today we will include more of a “hip hop” way to wear your vest.

Let’s start off with the casual side of things..Here we have Chris Brown, in this photo he is shown wearing a blue and white checkered shirt. On top of that he has on a oversized blue jean pocket vest. Contrasting with the vest he has on a pair of dark bootcut jeans, with a slight cuff at the ankle. For shoes it looks like he went with something a little more “jazzy” lol. They’re high top studded Louboutin shoes. Be sure to check the links for some alternate shoes, because those right there will definitely run up that credit card bill! All in all, for this casual look Chris kept it quite simple. The jean vest allowed for it not to be just another shirt and jeans outfit.So remember when it comes to the jean vest, keep it simple underneath…just think of it as an accessory for your outfit.

     

 Moving right along, lets look at a dressed up version of the vest. Here we have Pharrell Williams wearing a light pink button down shirt and a brown tweed-like vest. What is really making this look dressed up is the fact that he has on a navy satin tie, as well as a blue dotted pocket square. For bottoms he did some dark wash jeans. As far as shoes go, we aren't really sure what he went with. However, we're thinking he most likely did something around the lines of stacy adams. His Louis Vuiton belt and brightly colored watch add some personality to the outfit. The way that Pharrell has dressed up this vest, gives it a dressy look. However you could easily take this same vest and convert it to a casual look. Wearing it with a white v-neck, some distressed jeans, and perhaps some chuck taylor's; this vest piece is instantly converted into a casual look!

                                                

Lastly, we have a "hip-hop" look when it comes to the vest. Trey Songz has on a neutral toned puffer vest with a long sleeved thermal like shirt. For jeans he went with a distressed pair of dark wash jeans. Down to his shoes, he went with a grey pair of high top shoes. His belt as well as necklace looks as though they are both a nice chocolate brown; which pops up against that light khaki color. Although this look is more on the hip hop side of things, the neutral tones of all of his pieces allow for it to still have a touch of class.
