My love for the blazer runs deep, but with sticky summer officially underway, I’ve had to seriously reconsider our relationship. Adjusting to a blazer-less existence? So much easier, thanks to my new friend, the vest. It has the same tailored, boy-meets-girl appeal and power to pull a look together, yet keeps my arms blissfully bare. Brilliant! Wearing this IRO over a white tank and skinnies makes me feel all Kate Moss, while this Monrow with a dress, boots, and layers of necklaces is the definition of that back-from-Coachella look I love.
