Or is this vest just not a good vest? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-vest-suggestions#post-1205154 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 23:42:06 +0000 unfrumped 1205154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Following with interest, too.<br /> I still like menswear vests styles! But would like something more modern.<br /> Interested in the 3rd item, that has no sleeves, to layer over a drapey T perhaps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-vest-suggestions#post-1205140 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 23:32:48 +0000 Sarah A 1205140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Following closely. I dont exactly understand what about the Halogen one doesnt read modern enough (the waist defining darts perhaps?... although build plays a factor in that too I think) so Ill be checking back to try to fine tune my eye. I like Kenneth Cole one a lot and said the same on Shannon's post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-vest-suggestions#post-1205074 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 22:10:55 +0000 Suz 1205074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I think Angie just felt that the one didn't fit you right, correct?&nbsp;</p> <p>I am wondering about this, too, since I would like one as well. I ordered the Calvin Klein one that Shannon linked to in her other thread, but fear it will prove no good. Maybe Zara is a place to look?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-vest-suggestions#post-1204949 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 19:56:28 +0000 catgirl 1204949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is really similar to the black one I got... I don't know. Perhaps it's in the wearing? I thought I was going with the power of classics but maybe that doesn't work for me and my style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-vest-suggestions#post-1204944 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 19:50:31 +0000 pastrygirl 1204944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this one modern? I tried it on the other day and almost bought it, but it's not on my list so I left it. I really liked the sheer side panels and the high/low hemline. It was low enough to cover my backside.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3548661" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3548661</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modern-vest-suggestions#post-1204930 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 19:37:23 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1204930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep - I'm pondering the Kenneth Cole white vest.

Does anyone have suggestions for a modern vest and modern vest looks? I think it would really add some options to my current closet and give me a bit of menswear spin. But I am at a loss for what the "right" vest would be.... I was actually looking for a sleeveless blazer like Parsley's, to wear like a jacket in spring and summer.</p> <p>TIA! </p>
