How to Style Your Vests

If it is indeed your first time shopping for a vest, consider your body type, before choosing a vest, as not all are flattering. The material, cut, design, and color can have a major effect on whether a vest is a hit or a miss.

Small bust: Then it is the perfect layering piece since the extra fabric fills out the chest area and hides the lack of your body volume at the top. 

Big bust: Get a vest that is made of thinner fabrics and fitted with darts to match their body’s contours. 

Curvy: Look for a strap or ties at the back to pull it in at the waist to create an hourglass shape to slenderize your buxom figure. If you want to hide a tummy, a slightly looser but not boxy vest may be very effective at gliding over the tummy area and hiding it. A short, tightly fitted vest may accentuate large hips just as it will accentuate tummy bulge. If you have wide hips, a slightly looser vest will minimize the difference between the width of the hips and the width of the torso.
