Why I Love a Linen Vest for Summer
- It’s lightweight and breathable, which is perfect for summer!
- I love the men’s wear vibe it gives to an outfit.
- It pairs great with so many different bottom options
- You can layer tops under it for cooler months or add layers over it.
How to Wear a Linen Vest:
1. Light Wash Jeans + Heels
A casual, classic look that still feels pulled together. I love how the structured vest plays off the relaxed denim and nude heels. I love this outfit for a date night or girls’ night out!

2. White Shorts + Slides
Perfect for a warm day when you want something simple, yet stylish. Add a crossbody bag and sunnies for an easy on-the-go outfit. This is an outfit that I would wear out on the weekend with my family.

3. Olive Wide-Leg Pants + a Tank
This look leans a little more professional, which I think would be great for teachers, casual workdays, or lunch meetings. I layered the vest over a black tank and finished it with a sleek black bag and flats.

4. Burgundy Pleated Midi Skirt
I love mixing textures! The vest gives balance to the flowy skirt, and it’s a great way to dress up the vest without it feeling too formal.

5. White Wide-Leg Pants + Mary Jane Flats
This one feels so fresh and summery. I love the men’s wear vibe this outfit is giving. It would be a cute summer workwear outfit!

6. Navy Shorts + Heeled Sandals
This look is a little preppy and a little playful. I’d wear this for date night or a casual dinner out. The woven clutch adds a fun seasonal touch.
