Trending Vests

Welcome to Currently Trending, a special series where we highlight the products people can’t get enough of right now. Whether it’s blowing up on social media or selling nonstop on Rank & Style, this is where you'll find it.

Vests have quietly transformed from layering basics into bona fide statement pieces—and if the last few seasons are any indication, the trend isn’t going anywhere. Once reserved for boardrooms or brisk fall days, today’s iterations are sleek, tailored, and effortlessly cool, often designed to be worn solo as tops.

Of course, not every trend translates seamlessly into real life (we’re looking at you, sheer lace skirts and visible lingerie). But the vest is an exception—structured enough to feel put-together, yet versatile enough to suit a range of personal styles. Whether you lean minimalist or trend-forward, there’s a version of this wardrobe staple that works for you.

To help you get in on the look, our team of shopping editors rounded up 20 standout vests that are equal parts polished and wearable. With summer in full swing, there’s no better time to experiment with unexpected silhouettes—and maybe even find your new go-to top in the process.
