It's official. The vest has become the new blazer. You can dress it up with a shirt and tie. You can dress it down with a solid colored t-shirt. You can dress it sideways, dress it upside down-- no matter what you do with it, you can make it work. It adds a dapper touch to any outfit-- and all you need is one versatile vest in your wardrobe. For me, it's my Keanan Duffty vest from Target. I wear it every chance I get. But for those of you who need a nice vest to add to your closet, make sure it fits to a tee. An adjustable strap in the back is always helpful to give you a nice suit-like silhouette. Also, keep the color palette as simple as possible so that it goes with more stuff in your wardrobe-- but also look for subtle details that make them unique. The April 77 Transmission Vest has a snazzy zipper instead of buttons, while the texture of the Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Vest is sartorially appetizing-- but when making your in-'vest'-ment, don't go for one that is splattered with graphics or encrusted with rhinestones. You want to make heads turn towards you, not away. Check out the slideshow for some vests for you to consider.

A vest is a blazer that isn't as hot! Perfect for summer wear
