Practicality is never a strong influence when it comes to women’s fashion. The look is always the leading factor, which is exactly why the new long vest serves solely as a fashion statement. Most people choose a knee-length coat not only because it’s chic, but also because it serves a purpose – to keep you warm on a cold day. The long vest was created to turn even the drabbest outfits into an easy and sophisticated look, without considering the impact of the weather while looking fab. Whether designers choose a structured take on the vest like Vince or a flowy version like Missoni, the long vest is an absolute must.
