Every time I see a girl wearing a denim vest I’m always like “Dang I need to get me one of those!” But as I approach one at a store I always opt out of purchasing it since I’m afraid I won’t know how to wear it properly. Finally, after a lot of Pinterest research, I found my ideal way to wear the tricky denim vest. I prefer not to mix denim and denim, so I stay away from jeans and go with dressy, printed trousers and a bold sweater. Add heels, statement jewelry and a colorblock clutch and the look is the perfect mix of casual and chic!

Love this! I always associate jean vests with a sort of cow girl look, but like this it’s totally cute!
I am wanting a jean vest too! This is a great way to pair denim. Denim on denim can be kind of blah, but I like this idea.

I am still resisting the denim vest I must admit! Would live to see this on?

Totally agree with Lori – I haven’t jumped on the denim vest bandwagon, but this ensemble makes me want to give it a try…loving those shoes & earrings!

Always love a denim vest! Such a versatile piece! Those pants and earrings rock! P.S. H&M has an almost identical pair of those pants and for so cheap! ;)

Great look!! A denim vest would also look super cute over a summer dress.

Great recommendation! I snagged one from JCrew last year and am always looking for new ways to style! And I am obsessed with the Lulu Frost earrings!

I live in a city where cowboy couture is unfortunately all too common but I have to say Cathy that you made this doubter a believer. Love what you have done here. And I couldn’t agree more about your denim-on-denim comment. In fact, up north we refer to this as a Canadian tuxedo. haha. ;)
Love this look. Wish I could pull off a vest. My sister looks adorable in them but they just don’t seem to work for me. :(
I would love to hear your thoughts on my latest post!

Such great styling for this look! I love the pop of color with the printed pant, and the luxe accessories. Must check out Madewell for their denim and other great clothes.
