Follow the lead of Hérmes and Max Mara, who paired theirs with pencil skirts, or go with flared trousers like those at Givenchy and Rodarte. Team with a cocktail dress for a touch of Isabel Marant and Dior, or choose the latter’s pastel colours.
Continue for now, if you like, with summer’s cotton or crepe, such as Olivia Palermo’s vision in yellow, Victor and Rolf’s offering of navy with white trim, or a patterned sleeveless duster coat from Dries Van Noten. Look classy in white on sunny days, with bare arms that showcase your tan. Or cover them by wearing a jumper under your vest when the temperature drops.
Wear unbuttoned over a shirt or a polo neck for smart daywear, or substitute a lightly tailored long sleeveless blazer. For evenings, mix with a fine cotton top, or cropped pants and heels. Hérmes and Chloé picked simple accessories, and you could do worse than to copy them.
Sleeveless biker denim comes with the same street cred as the sleeved variety, but is lighter to wear. Show your flair by layering your long vest under a shorter one, and add a white tee.
For serious autumn weather, the sleeveless blanket coat is just waiting for you to covet its cosiness. It’s also the ideal outer garment for any bulky sweater that refuses to be forced into a regular coat. Style it the grunge way with ripped jeans. For extra snugness, pull a long sleeveless leather jacket over a tee, or try faux-fur instead. Indulge in our favourite art of layering to trap warmth, and hide all under the oversized version of this style.
We hope you’re convinced by now that the long sleeveless vest is a huge trend for Autumn/Winter 2014. It will guide you through the ups and downs of autumn weather, providing you with warmth and style at the same time!
