There are so many ways to wear a vest, making it one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe.
DISCLOSURE: I AM PARTICIPATING IN A COMPENSATED CAMPAIGN WITH THIS BRAND. THE STYLING AND THE WRITTEN WORDS ARE MY OWN.
This Genuine Suede Vest from Chadwicks of Boston is my latest find. It is the perfect layering piece. Especially in Texas where we don’t have many REALLY COLD days, this is great fall piece. A little warmth when we need it and not a lot of bulk. It is so soft, has POCKETS and the Princess seams down the front give it a shape that is so flattering. Here are 3 Ways to Wear A Vest.

3 Ways to Wear A Vest – The Genuine Suede Vest by Chadwicks of Boston
With a crisp white blouse, jeggings, 2 -tone necklace, and booties. This is a great look for shopping and lunch with a friend.
Pairing it with navy slacks and a silk scarf, I dressed it up for the office.
In Texas, we love our football and this look with a long sleeved tee, riding boots and pink scarf to bring in color around my face is perfect for a tailgate party!
Have you ever ordered from Chadwicks of Boston? I ordered from Chadwicks frequently in the 1990’s when I had two small kids at home. Two small kids that I DID NOT want to drag to the mall! So the convenience of ordering from Chadwicks and trying on clothes at my convenience, in my own home and being able to mix and match with what I already had was a big selling point for me. And I remember that the prices were great and clothes were always cute, quality and on trend.
Nothing has changed! Today’s Chadwicks features the same great quality, affordability and ordering is easier than ever. And now Chadwicks has incorporated new fit guidelines, featuring TALL, Petite, and Plus sizes, giving midlife women of all shapes and sizes choices in all styles.
Check out Chadwicks today. Stylish, quality, affordable clothes. By the way, the Genuine Suede Vest also comes in a beautiful tan color called Sable.

Love the pink scarf. Vest are such a perfect way to layer for us Texans for sure. You just have the prettiest skin Cathy..always glowing!
Thanks, Shelly. I had never worn that scarf with anything before and I love how that pairing turned out!
Your style encourages me to “gussy up” just a little more!
It’s amazing what adding one piece to your wardrobe can do – 3 new outfits with stuff I already had!
This is a lovely vest and I really like how you showed the three ways. I am so impressed with quality and the prices at Chadwicks of Boston!!
Pam – you are right. The quality is outstanding. I love the feel and fit of this vest and that you can wear it so many different ways. Great addition to my wardrobe!
You look wonderful in this vest Cathy!!
Thanks, Jennifer! I love it – so many different ways to wear it!

Thanks, Jodie! I love the vest. Such good quality and so versatile!
Fabulous vest & you styled it perfectly. I love all three looks!
Thanks, Andrea! I am loving all the looks I see from Chadwicks. This vest is such high quality! I love it!
You look like you had fun with this post, Cathy. Almost a two-fer – how to style a vest and a scarf 🙂
Doing a couple of these type posts has been good for me, Glenda. I’ve had to open up and get creative with my styling! It was fun. Amy was my “stylist and photographer” for this one. Blessed to have 2 very talented daughters to help me!
Cathy,
You look great in the vest and these outfits. Your smile is infectious. You are really stylin!
Thanks, Beverly. It was fun to get one new piece & then see how many outfits I could make!
Very cute. I think it is time for me to take another look at this online store!
Carol, I hadn’t shopped Chadwicks in years. So glad to get reacquainted with them. Great quality and great prices.
You look lovely Cathy – and I really like that necklace in the first picture!
That necklace is my favorite too. I’ve had it a while. It wasn’t expensive and it goes with everything.
That’s gorgeous Cathy but they don’t ship to South Africa, noooooooo that’s so unfair. Love the vest paired with jeans and the scarf. It looks really pretty
Thanks, Michelle!
A vest is so versatile. I have lots of scarves – I am going to start wearing them more! Thanks for the great tip!
The 2 scarves in this post are ones I have had for a while, but never wore. Doing this post kind of forced me to go into my closet and try some new things. That was good for me. Get out your scarves!
Cathy that is such a pretty elegant piece that can be dressed up or down as you have shown us. You look fabulous!
Thanks, Mary. I was pleased to get so many different looks out of it!
Very cute vest and a great thing to wear over a white blouse because it’s slimming and keeps the blouse from getting dirty. (that would be me)
Rebecca – I’m the same way. Put me in white and I’m sure to get something on it!
Cute vest! I love the pink scarf with the vest, and it is getting about that time where you can start layering here in Texas without melting. LOL
Holding out for a “cool front” this weekend, Linda! LOL!
Cathy, the vest looks lovely on you. I really like suede, it adds so much texture to an outfit and as you have shown, you can style it in so many ways. I think the 3rd option is my favorite, I love the scarf and it’s gorgeous colors. I’m going to check out Chadwick’s I haven’t looked through their site in a long time, it looks like I have been missing out!
Thanks, Nikki. I didn’t have anything suede and I just love that vest. And to get 3 outfits from one new piece is great! You’ll love the stuff on Chadwicks site. Nice quality and great prices.
Aww, I grew up in Texas, and those oak trees remind me of home. Now I’m in Minnesota, where bulking up is a lifestyle. I love your scarf know-how. That twisted technique is new to me. You look fantastic!
I just recently learned a few new scarf tying techniques. May show one on a FB live tomorrow!
You’re definitely rocking that vest!

Look at the new fashion blogger on the block! You look great! The scarf is very chic. Keep up the good work!
Well, I never set out to be a fashion blogger, but that’s what it’s been the last month! It has been fun. Back to other topics today, but we ladies sure like our fashion!
I just love you! You’re so genuine and fun. No pretenses about anything! xoxo, Brenda
LOL – Yea, whatever I think kind of comes out!

I was confused at first as a vest is normally an inner garment in my world. I like what I see though so thanks for sharing at the pit stop
Glad you liked the look, Julie!
I am loving the vests this season. They are easy to wear, comfortable and not too hot!
Me too! Some of the best purchases I’ve made!
