TREND ALERT: Long Vests

TREND ALERT: Long Vests

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.

This past weekend, my family and I saw the Nutcracker at the Dallas Winspear Opera house on Friday night. It was such a fun and festive performance that I highly recommend to anyone in the Dallas area. I wore my favorite Alice + Olivia green dress with some sparkly baubles and topped it off my ombre fur coat to conquer the chilly weather.

“No self respecting New York City woman would be caught dead running around Manhattan in a scrunchie.” – Carrie Bradshaw

Well I hate to break it to Carrie, but scrunchies are back! Designers like Marc Jacobs and Missoni have brought the scrunchie back to life in their newest collections. Though the idea of these fluffy, fabric hairbands may initially make you cringe, celebs have already jumped on the scrunchie train. Take a peek at some of the chic new ways to rock this 90’s throwback:
