How to Style a Quilted Vest for the Office
Bring a pop of fresh color to your morning commute by layering that eye-catching outerwear over your office essentials. It’ll give a chambray shirt and folkloric skirt an instant refresh, while making subtle accessories like shimmery hoops with rose-colored gems shine bright. And because no fall/winter outfit is complete without a chic pair of ankle boots, add on these patent leather Chelsea boots that are perfect for rain or shine.

How to Style a Quilted Vest for a Night Out
When serious dancing is on the agenda, fussing with bulky coats and jackets is just a flat-out no. That makes your vest the *ideal* option for staying warm on a night out. Toss it over a bold graphic sweater dress, then mix in gilded accessories like strappy heels and a layered necklace for a little after-hours polish.
