    Learn More About Women's Vests

    Women’s vests are popular wardrobe essentials because they’re so versatile. You’ll find a wide range of designs from sellers on Etsy including formal vintage vests and casual handmade vests that you won’t find anywhere else. Vests serve a variety of purposes, from practical warmth to fashion-forward layering.


    If you already have a vision of your ideal vest in mind, take advantage of the search filters. View by color, pattern, style, price, and closure type to narrow down your search and discover women’s vests that fit flawlessly with your expectations.

    Like most women’s clothing, women’s vests are created in a wide range of styles from cozy and casual to buttoned-up and ready-for-business. Browse some of the most popular types of vests to find the missing piece your wardrobe wants:


    • Denim: An alternative style that’s casually rugged yet always versatile is a women’s denim vest. They usually showcase a button-up front and are often embellished with metal hardware, flap chest pockets, and a shirt-collar neckline.
    • Puffer: Comfy and cozy, a women’s puffer vest is a first-rate choice for warmth when it's cold. Some designs, like women’s quilted vests, feature diamond-shaped stitching, while others have horizontal seams to keep insulation evenly distributed.
    • Fleece: Another warm option when temperatures drop is a women’s fleece vest, which is lighter and more streamlined than a puffer vest.
    • Sweater: A classic silhouette showcasing a preppy style, a women’s sweater vest is timeless. Snag a cable knit option to add texture and thickness for more warmth.
    • Leather: One part biker-chic and one part punk rock, a women’s leather vest features a range of designs from sleek v-necks to rivet-adorned lapel collars. They often have buckles, zippered accents, lace-up details, and fringe.
    • Suit: Typically featuring a button-up front and a v-neckline women’s suit vests are a modernized and streamlined approach to business and formal wear.
    • Embroidered: Flaunting folk-inspired patterns that are perfect for festivals and a day-to-day bohemian style, women’s embroidered vests are often styled with an open front, but tie closures and buttons are also common.

    Depending on the type of vest you buy, you can style it in many different ways. When creating an outfit around your vest, keep the silhouette in mind—if your vest is looser, pair it with slim-fit pants that will give you a shape and balance you out. A women’s long puffer vest with plenty of volume works well with slim-fit leggings, while a figure-hugging suit vest will flatter wide-leg trousers.


    The phrase “opposites attract” rings true for not only your silhouette but also different fabrics—a chunky sweater vest layers beautifully over a collared shirt to give you a polished look that showcases sophistication. A leather vest has a rugged look that adds edgy appeal to a feminine dress made from a lightweight material like lace or jersey fabric. You can also contrast the structured look and feel of a denim vest by pairing it with a flowy floral-print shift dress.
