We love blazers: hardly any other piece of clothing is so changeable and timeless. But the fashion classic is getting serious competition: The fashionistas of this world currently rely on the little sister of our all-time favorite and show with cool styles how great the blazer can look without sleeves. Correctly heard: The blazer vest is on the fashionable advance and is even more exciting and modern than the previous fashion favorite.
Summer 2020 and us: they won't be friends anymore. Too little sun, too much rain. That can make you want to go shopping. But be careful: the blazer vest is THE perfect it-piece in which you should invest NOW. Our favorite street style stars have already fallen for the trend and show how cool the blazer alternative can be worn in summer and autumn.
That is why we love the new trend
We know that the blazer is a fashionable all-purpose weapon. But when it comes to styling, the sleeveless version makes it a whole lot easier for us: whether as a two-piece suit with matching trousers, casual with jeans or a skirt – almost everything fits with a vest. You can also let off steam to your heart's content underneath: Whether it's a turtleneck sweater like Leonie Hanne or an ultra-casual hoodie like the German fashion icon Annette Weber: Depending on your mood and occasion, you can easily upgrade or downgrade your look with the blazer vest.
Another plus point: with the blazer vest, we finally have a part in our wardrobe that we can carry up and down both in summer and winter. Annoying putting on and taking off like with the blazer is not necessary here. Annette Weber shows once again how cool you can style the vest with an office look. We are in love!
We also fell in love with the look of Nina Schwichtenberg. Her combination of oversized dress and XL vest is daring, but super chic!
You should pay attention to this when buying
The vest is more casual and modern than the classic blazer due to the lack of sleeves. To underline this look even more, we are going to use a straight, barely tailored cut in 2020. Important: the blazer alternative should not be too short. Over the Po is a must! For those who are particularly bold in fashion, choose a waistcoat in calf length – it can be converted into a dress in no time at all, à la Leonie Hanne.
Got a taste? In any case, the shopping fever has already gripped us. One or the other blazer vest is guaranteed to end up in our wardrobe.
