How to wear a dress vest

We're always looking for new ways to switch up our style, from adding a bandanna to an outfit, to doing the wrap-and-tuck, even experimenting with different styling hacks.

This latest trick — taking a basic button-front dress and styling it as a vest — might be one of the most genius new ways to rock this Spring wardrobe staple and it is supereasy to pull off.

Here's how to rock this look.

The dress

A button-front dress, is a staple that every woman should have in her wardrobe.

Whether you rock it with sleeves for the cooler months or dare to go bare when things heat up, it's the perfect throw-on-and-go option that will make getting ready a breeze.

The casual look

Remove the belt and wear your dress as a vest to elevate even the most basic pieces.

For date night

Top off an ultrafeminine look with this laid-back layer to give it a more casual twist.

For the office

Add an element of fun to a work-appropriate ensemble with this unexpected addition.

For girls night out

While all-black everything is a no-fail outfit option, stand out in the crowd by sporting this statement-making item over a dress or set.

On special occasions

A structured piece pairs well with a fancy fit-and-flare — much like a jacket or blazer — while the length works to elongate your body.

For the weekend

If your joggers and slouchy sweater are looking a tad too lazy, throw on this something extra to polish things up.
