Ten Vests for Festival Season
It might not seem like a very exciting item, but a vest is an integral part of your festival wardrobe. If you're lucky enough to get some sunshine then it's a great way to build up a tan, and if it's cold then it will be the ideal item to layer up. As British weather is very unpredictable, you will find yourself constantly putting on and taking off clothes to acclimatise!
eBay Find of the Week
I know we've seen a ton of band vest and jackets by now — hello, Beyonce in Balmain — but this Vintage Leather Marching Band Vest, size small-medium, is so fabulous, I couldn't not show you. The daring gal who scoops this up is one lucky duck, because it's the perfect blend of chic and cool. Just be sure to keep the rest of your look extra simple — you don't want to be mistaken for a real marching band drummer.
Trend Alert: Denim Vests
Check it: there's a fine line between looking casual and casual cool. If it weren't for Kate Bosworth's denim vest by Current & Elliot, her gray tee would fall flat; pairing it with this essential piece pulls everything together in a snap. Pretty cool, huh?
Trend Alert: Studly Vests
The studly vest is an elusive thing. It can be rocker, it can be bohemian, it can be Balmain! Or all of the above for Beyonce with Jay-Z in España.

The Look For Less: Balmain Crystal-Embellished Jacket
This Balmain Crystal-Embellished Jacket ($11,410) is undeniably fly, but besides Beyonce and a couple other celebs, I don't know anyone willing to fork over the dough for such a trendy statement piece. I love the kitschy, band-jacket-inspired style, but paying that much is not even a faint possibility . .
The Look For Less: Torn by Ronny Kobo Maggie Suede Fringe Vest
Fringe sista, check out this cool Torn by Ronny Kobo Maggie Suede Fringe Vest ($308). It's undeniably bohemian chic, and I know you dig the slate blue hue. The only thing not to love is the expensive price, but no worries .
Fab Finger Discount: Bootheel Trading Co. Halter Vest
I found this Bootheel Trading Co. Halter Vest ($29, originally $48) for any gal who wants to embrace the Sgt. Pepper look in a sexier way than it was shown on the runway.
The Look For Less: Alexander Wang Knit Vest
I'm still smitten with vests. They're versatile, chic, and have a cool menswear vibe. Peep this Alexander Wang Knit Vest ($317).
eBay Find of the Week
You know by now: I have a soft spot for sequins. Shoes, pants, hats, jackets — the more sequins, the better. How rad is this Vintage Metallic Sequined Vest, bust 35?
