Mini Style Secrets
3 ways to style
a vest
Each month we spin one closet staple into three new looks. You’re welcome!
When it comes to fall layers, nothing works harder than a vest. Denim, puffer, or shearling—it’s the piece kids can throw on over anything and instantly look pulled together. The best part? Vests outlast growth spurts longer than most pieces, which means more wears, more memories, less guilt.
