Choose a vest that fits snugly across the chest and shoulders
Button or zip the vest if it is designed to be closed
Wear it over a shirt, blouse, or sweater
Keep the hem aligned evenly around the waist
Match the vest with the rest of your outfit
Leave the bottom button undone if wearing a classic suit vest
Make sure the armholes sit comfortably without pulling
Adjust the vest so it lies flat and does not bunch up
Pair it with trousers, jeans, or a skirt depending on the style
Remove it before washing if the care label requires it
