Help me decide which vest?

frannieb

So Angie's ensemble and then Tanya posting version spoke to me big time. Falls right in my wheelhouse of just the right bit of edge or Drama
Below are two options I am considering -
Black or White - both on sale this weekend

The white one is really speaking to me for a riff on the ensemble look - and the black one is just cool.

I have a black and white similar vest...The white one is just so cool for spring..I have looked at it with envy as we go through these really cold days..But as soon as spring gets here the white vest will get its work out..
I also have the black one and it is great for jeans and fall/winter...I can see it in summer with white jeans...
You wouldn't go wrong with both or either..Best...

frannieb, I feel like the black might be more versatile? The white looks dressier to me while the black looks more casual, so it also depends what you are planning to pair them with. I don't think you can go wrong either way - follow your gut!

Oh dear. The black one is coming up as unavailable where I am. Maybe you see something different? I agree with TG - black seems more versatile. But I do love me some summer whites and I prefer the structure on the second one. Looks like it would play well with a fluted skirt.

I have similar long vests in both colors and wear the black one most. It makes a nice slimming vertical line with black pants or skirt.

I like the asymmetric look of the black vest, it's casual but a bit edgier.

They're very different vibes. The white is refined, the black punkette. Which do you feel is more you?

hmmm, they are so different, i kind of think that this is one it would help to see on before deciding.

I'm liking the white. Just saw some pix (sorry don't have the link) of a stylish lady in all black with a white/cream jacket. Made a sharp, modern, yet business appropriate look. The top of her outfit was a vee, so it seemed like the wedge of visible skin made a pleasing contrast to the black, and was echoed in the light jacket.

I like them both. Can you try them both? One may be a better fit; which would be the deciding factor for me

Tough call. I can see either of them looking great with your style. I might lean just a bit toward the black moto, but agree with others that trying them on will clarify the decision.

Must see on to say - jersey vests can fall funny in my experience.
