Wondering how to make a basic vest top look anything but basic? You’re in the right place. We’ve rounded up seven elevated outfits inspired by some of the most stylish people we’ve seen lately, and every single one starts with that wardrobe hero: the vest top.
Fashion can be loud. Bold prints, punchy colours, and fleeting trends often steal the spotlight. But here’s the truth: it’s the quiet, hard-working basics that really hold a wardrobe together. I used to chase statement pieces, eye-catching dresses, “it” shoes—and still felt like I had nothing to wear. Sound familiar?
These days, I’ve flipped the script. My rails are now lined with timeless, mix-and-match essentials. And the MVP? Without a doubt, the vest top.
Whether you call it a tank or a vest, this humble piece is having its moment. From off-duty influencers to luxury labels (Loewe’s logo tank, anyone?), everyone’s showing it some love. The key to keeping it fresh? Styling it in new, unexpected ways. Below, discover seven low-effort outfit formulas that prove the vest top can take you everywhere this summer.
