It’s a fact: no spring suit vest roundup could be completed without mention of The Frankie Shop’s asymmetrical style in classic khaki. Tailored for a cool yet unfussy fit, it pairs perfectly with La Ligne’s slinky black slip skirt and Cos’ scarf-like trench coat. Another cool-girl favorite comes courtesy of St. Agni. The masterfully minimalist label’s slate gray suit vest is a chic cohort for Mango’s cinched-waist blazer and a pair of knee-high boots from Khaite. Similarly luxurious is Favorite Daughter’s navy pinstripe pick, which to our delight rings up for under $300. Styling-wise, wear it with a pair of springtime trousers from Everlane and Zara’s little white ballet flats. When it comes to those seasonal pops of color, Staud’s matching powder blue suit whispers “chic” no matter which way it’s worn, though, we’ll be styling ours with a pair of chocolate brown suede loafers from Sam Edelman and an elegant belt from Toteme. And to tie it all together, Posse’s viral linen vest is at the top of our spring-to-summer shopping list, best worn with a pair of classic blue jeans and chic city sneakers from Tod’s.
Below, seven suit vest outfits to wear on repeat this spring. (Plus, more standout suit vest styles.)
The Asymmetrical Style With a Minimalist Outfit Formula
The Frankie Shop’s asymmetrical suit vest takes a contemporary twist on the classics. Styling-wise, it’s the perfect mate for a masterfully minimalist outfit formula, which includes La Ligne’s slinky slip skirt, a pair of barely-there sandals from Jil Sander, and Cos’ scarf-adorned trench coat. Accessories, like Khaite’s spring-to-summer raffia tote and a silver cuff from Ben-Amun, are always welcome.
The Polished Pinstripe Pick With a Transitional Outerwear Option
When the weather is warm one day and cool the next, a transitional outerwear option is a true layering essential, especially when styled with Favorite Daughter’s navy pinstripe suit vest. Complete the look in a pair of springtime trousers from Everlane and Zara’s little white fashion flats. Toteme’s newest handbag arrival is another must-have to add to the mix.
The Powder Blue Suit With a Sultry Suede Loafer
No spring color combination is trending now quite like powder blue and chocolate brown. Starting with Staud’s buttoned-up suit vest, polish off the look in the brand’s matching pleated pants and &Daughter’s cashmere crewneck draped over your shoulders as a sweater-like scarf. Sultry suede loafers from Sam Edelman are a sophisticated yet sultry final touch.
The Slate Gray Staple With a Ladylike Midiskirt
For spring, fashion’s gone gray! Get the look by styling St. Agni’s striped suit vest with Banana Republic’s flared midiskirt, Mango’s cinched-waist blazer, and a pair of knee-high boots from Khaite. Zara’s black bucket bag and a pair of pearl drop earrings from Bottega Veneta are the new quiet luxury essentials you need.
The Little White Vest With a Chic City Sneaker
As we await summer’s much-anticipated arrival, refresh the contents of your closet now, starting with Posse’s cult-classic linen suit vest. Sofia Richie is a fan, after all. Keep the look fit for spring in a pair of classic blue jeans from Tibi, Favorite Daughter’s cropped trench coat, and Tod’s just-released black and white city sneakers.
The Fashion Girl-Favorite With a Lightweight Leather Trench
Leave it to Miu Miu to deliver the season’s most-wanted It item: a distressed suit vest in deep navy. For a masterful high-low mix, style it with Cos’ pleated trousers, a lightweight leather trench coat from Max Mara Leisure, and Toteme’s croc-embellished penny loafers. Sleek accessories include The Row’s top-handle handbag and a cord necklace from Zara.
The Best Black Vest With a Clean-Lined Denim Skirt
Like the versatile LBD, Cos’ tailored suit vest has ample closet appeal. For spring, style yours with Altuzarra’s beloved denim maxiskirt, The Row’s oversized blazer, and a pair of thong sandals from A.Emery. Meanwhile, Zara’s suede tote is a play on textures we can gladly get behind this season.
