White shirts never go out of style, and they are particularly popular this fall. When the weather gets cooler but not yet too cold, a vest over your white shirt would be perfect.
What should we look for in a vest? As a matter of fact, this year's peplum vests can flatter your figure, if you pick one without too many pleats. What's good about a peplum vest is that it cinches the waist, but if it has too much gathering or too many pleats below the waist, it may optically expand the hips and/or create the illusion of a tummy. So, the less gathering or fewer pleats, the better.
Alternatively, you can choose a form fitting vest without a peplum. It will look like a peplum vest and thus appear trendy but without any gathering or pleats below the waist.
This blue velvet vest I'm wearing is something I inherited from my grandma. After her passing, I had a tailor take in the waist of the vest to fit me. The photo here doesn't really do the vest justice. It looks much prettier in real life, with the luxurious sheen of pure silk velvet!
Today is my grandma's birthday. I'm wearing this blue velvet vest in memory of her. Grandma had great taste in fashion. I often think of her while writing my fashion blog. After all, fashion is cyclical.
Hopefully, this fashion blog helps you find flattering styles either in stores or in your own closet. Have a fabulous fall foliage season!
