Fall Layering Essential Styled 2 Ways

Story Originally for TheOutfit.comFall is all about layering—but some of us don't live in climates that call for coats and sweaters! For those who still want to get in on the layered look despite their hometown's warmer temperatures, look no further than the simple, streamlined sleeveless blazer.I can't get enough of this piece; It's one of the easiest things to throw on and it creates a chic, effortless and polished look every single time. Here are two of my favorite ways to wear a vest right now!Over A DressTopping a dress with a vest is a great way to add extra visual interest, or to offer more coverage to a body-con number. The femininity of the dress plays well with the structure of the sleeveless blazer.Menswear InspiredYou can also play up the vest's tailored silhouette by working it into a menswear-inspired look. I paired mine with a crisp button-down and sleek black-and-white patent loafers, but swapping out the jeans for a trouser or culotte creates a professional look that's totally office-ready.Sleeveless Blazer: TJMaxxWhite Button Down: Forever21Black Jeans: Old NavyGray Dess: Fashion to FigureBag: 10 Crosby Derek LamFlats: Sam EdlemanHeels: Chinese Laundry[showshopthepostwidget id="1089000"]
