Long vests // sleeveless trenches are popping up everywhere! These transitional pieces are not just perfect for easing into our Fall wardrobes, they’re stylish, multi-functional, and simple to wear as well!
What’s so great about a coat with no sleeves you ask? Let me tell you…
1 – Functional. They’ll add some weight to a lighter Fall outfit, but will still keep you warm once the sun goes down.
2 – Layer-able! Wear them over a sleeveless, short, or long sleeved shirt – and still have room to add a cardigan or sweater if you need to!
3 – Forgiving. Who doesn’t love loose, baggy, CUTE clothes?! A sleeveless trench is comfortable and non-restricting.
4 – Versatile. You can dress these up or down. They can be worn casually or for a night out. Pair one with leggings + booties, a skirt + heels, slacks + flats, or a dress + boots. Endless possibilities!
5 – Make a statement. Find a long vest in a bold pattern or a bright color and treat it as an accessory that’ll add a little pop to any outfit!
…the list goes on!
I handpicked a few of my favorite long vests [all currently available at Forever 21] and all under $50 each! 🙂

2. Double-Breasted Longline Vest


4. Longline High-Slit Collared Vest


I just love the sleek + polished look that this piece instantly creates! I’m still on the fence about what style + color I want, but I’m leaning towards a more neutral shade for optimal use. I’m hoping to pick one of these up in the very near future! 🙂
Do you have a sleeveless trench or vest? Do you love it!?
