Unless you’ve just fallen off the turnip truck, you know that vests are in…way in…in so far that they are going to hang around awhile. And we are thanking gawd because vests are the ideal layering piece and make a fabulous addition to any wardrobe. Especially ours and y’all’s.

Shearling, fur, faux, wool, long, short and in-between…there is an option for every belle. Fashionable and flattering for all ages…teen belles, sporty belles, sophisticated belles, laid-back belles, working belles, working-it belles, mom belles and beyond can jump on this trend. Here are a few of our faves…

This grey and shearling is a beauty…classic, elegant, timeless. We see it becoming a staple for years to come…and we love the length! It is on super sale now at Intermix, an extra 30% off! This beauty is on tall belle’ s Christmas list by-the-by (Nonie belle, we sure hope you’re reading this!!)

Another great find from Savvy are these cozy-chic rabbit vests. They are the perfect length whether you are petite or tall. And they are light as a feather – a blessing ’cause who wants to be weighed down?!? They are also not the least bit bulky…another blessing because we belles don’t necessarily go for extra paddin!! These vests can be super-casual or trés chic…or both at the same time! And…bonus…they are perfect for travel as they can be worn so many ways (on their own, under a trench, over a jacket or blazer (ooh…especially a lil’ leather number so it looks like a coat with leather sleeves)!

And this sweater vest is another great option available at Savvy. A little shorter, encouraging the layering options…and don’t y’all just adore the sweater back? We think the play on texture is very smart. And who doesn’t want to look smarter?! And, by the way, the color way makes it a great addition to any wardrobe.

Okay, this one makes us die just a little bit. We are swooning over the color-way, the pattern, the whimsy!! This is a vest to perk you up, add a little pep to your step, and put a smile on your face. Get it before it’s gone at Nordstrom.

Next on our list is a faux shearling option. The perfect throw-on-and-go! Worn with jeans for a relaxed look or layered over a dress for an edgier feel, belles can rock this look a million ways. Find it at Shopbop.

For the fashionista belles who want to make a statement here’s a jaw-dropping, to-die-for vest that adds a little toughness with leather. The leather can be removed so a belle can change it up with ease. Mouthwatering right?!?! This one can be purchased at Shopbop as well.

And last, but most certainly not least, is this so-right white vest…what a way to lighten up the dark and gloomy days of winter!! Again, the length is good for just about any belle and so is the price!!

Find it at Nordstrom.

We have a ” vested ” interest in keeping y’all on trend. Now do your part and “invest”!!
