Layering two vests + still retaining shape

Lauren

I don't know if anyone else has done this, but this weekend on a particularly cold day in SF I layered two vests. See more detail here: http://bit.ly/18qmaRU

I kept one vest structured and the other a knit, and cinched with a belt for added waist definition. I kind of loved the result but am wondering if anyone else has any pictures or examples of ways they have done this? I want to avoid bringing out my Winter coats again but still need to stay warm.

thanks!

I think this totally works - especially with the belt to add definition.

I have a favourite photo somewhere from ages back where I was wearing a denim jacket over an open loose weave white button up and a tank. I was wearing cargo pants. It was a lot of layers but it looked good. It was around this time of year (autumn for us) and we were off to the zoo for the day. I needed the heavier denim layer for early morning and late afternoon warmth but only wanted a light covering for the middle of the day.

Beautiful!
I haven't layered 2 vests, but have often layered two jackets. It's not easy to do. Bravo!

Super cool! I love this layering and so smart to add the belt to keep a structured look.

In winter I often layer with a top + wool cardi + blazer + add a belt for waist definition. My pieces are long sleeved, because it would be too cold otherwise, but it is kind of the same idea.

These are great. Harmonica thanks so much for the pic and recommendation. Long sleeve layering is definitely tougher than what i've done!
