How To Wear A Long Vest To The Office
Too hot outside for a blazer? A long vest could help add dimension to your workwear and elevate your outfits so you look even more professional. Here are five ways to wear them:

- Pair It With Your Dresses
A dress can be great for work but it's also very one dimensional — especially a solid coloured one. So up your style game and layer on with a long vest. If you've got a patterned dress, a black or olive green vest is perfect!

2. Go Bright
If your standard office outfits lean towards a colour palette of black, white or grey, a statement making long vest could help elevate your style. The best part is that you can add them to your weekend wardrobe too.

3. Wear A Crop Top Underneath
A crop top can easily be a dress code violation in the office but once you've paired an outfit like the ones above with a long vest, you could usually get away with it. Still unconvinced? Get a crop top that doesn't cut so high up and pair it with a vest that has collars for a more polished look.

4. Wear It With Pants And A Shirt
A long vest really makes just about anything classier and a little more sophisticated, especially with collars, so if you want to wear a t-shirt to the office but think it's a little too casual, a vest could help.

5. Belt It Up And Wear It As A Suit
You'll get a tunic-style look that's perfect for the office! You can always add a thin shirt or a tank top inside if you're worried about feeling too exposed or cold in the office.
