It's the most versatile piece in the wardrobe, and we've named it (drum roll) the vest!
The women's vest is a wardrobe staple, a versatile piece that adapts to every season and every body type.
Whether for a cool mid-season day or to add a touch of warmth in winter, vests come in a multitude of models and materials.
In winter, it offers a good alternative to the traditional women's sweater while in mid-season, it will enhance your women's t-shirt with panache.
So let's get to the bottom of it all, to make sure you're wearing a cardigan to its full potential ;)
A women's vest is a versatile and essential piece of clothing for any wardrobe. Suitable for all seasons, it can be worn in mid-season as well as in winter to add a touch of warmth and style.
Women's vests come in different lengths, materials and sizes, so you can find the ideal model for every body type and mood ;)
Vests are often distinguished by their lack of a stiff collar and optional fastening, unlike cardigans, which are usually buttoned all the way up.
Vests can be made from wool, cotton or cashmere, and come in a variety of forms: long, short, with or without hood, and even in bolero versions. There's something for everyone, girls!
This season's novelties include models with fitted sleeves, bright colors to energize your look, and mesh designs for optimum comfort.
Whether you prefer a fitted vest for an evening out or a chillier model for a casual day, at Freeman we offer a wide range of products to suit all tastes.
Vests come in a variety of lengths, from short bolero versions to long pieces perfect for a cosier look.
New this year are hooded vests, thick knit vests for winter and lighter models for spring days.
The current trend is to emphasize comfort without compromising style!
Wearing a vest with panache depends on a number of factors, including your body type, the occasion and your mood of the day.
All body types can find a vest to suit them:
Petite women: Opt for short vests that don't cut into the silhouette.
Shapely women: Long or mid-length, buttonless vests are perfect for a flowing look and an elongated silhouette.
Tall women: opt for long cardigans or vests.
Women's vests are wardrobe chameleons:
With jeans and sweaters for a casual look.
Over a dress for a romantic, bohemian look.
With tailored pants and a women's shirt for a professional look.
Vest length depends on the effect you want to achieve and your body type:
Short: Perfect for casual wear or to accentuate the waist.
Mid-length: Ideal for a versatile look, neither too casual nor too formal.
Long: Adds a touch of elegance to your style.
Combining a women's jacket with a vest can add an extra dimension to your outfit (this is the layering technique for connoisseurs). For example:
A leather jacket over a slim vest for a rock look.
A blazer over a knit cardigan for a sophisticated look.
A trench coat with a hooded cardigan for a warm, casual look that's perfect for autumn.
The difference between a cardigan and a vest lies in their shape and style:
Cardigan: Often buttoned along the entire length, it can be worn open or closed.
Vest: Can be unzipped, with or without buttons, zipped and often worn open. The knitted cardigan is a winter wardrobe classic.
When buying a vest, consider the following aspects:
Materials: wool, cashmere, cotton.
Size: Choose a size that matches your body type.
Cut: Straight, fitted or loose, depending on your style.
Colors: Neutral colors are versatile, while bright hues can energize your outfit.
We'll never say it again, but the most important thing is that you feel good in your clothes. Opt for pieces that enhance both your body shape and your personality, girls ;)
