The Sleeveless Waistcoat

The vest knows no limits for Spring 2015. From printed pieces to the classic black tie affair version, this menswear-inspired trend is the new layering piece for the season. I have teamed up with T.J. Maxx to bring you spring’s hottest trend and chose to talk about this long sleeveless topper. 

When asked to partner up with T.J. Maxx, I couldn’t be any more excited because I am a “glass half full” kind of gal, which describes the creative Maxximizer. Their unique and broad assortment always keeps me on trend while maintaining a great price. I already lose track of time while shopping and when I go inside a T.J.Maxx, I spend countless hours in the Contemporary section not allowing myself any time to explore the rest of the versatile departments because it’s closing for the day. I immediately gravitated towards this white sleeveless waistcoat and knew it was the perfect fashion staple that I was missing. 

This long sleeveless vest can add a layer of interest to any outfit and it’s the perfect transitional piece for going from season-to-season. For us California natives, the vest can be styled by itself as a top. For colder weather, it can be worn over anything, from dresses to pants. Consider the vest an investment piece for this season and beyond. 

I chose to keep my outfit classic because it’s polished enough to take me into an important business meeting during the day and chic enough for after-work cocktails. How else can you wear it? Layer it over a short-sleeve summer dress, wear it over a thin sweater, or over a button-down shirt and some boyfriend jeans.

Xo,

Lillian
