Long Vest

Do people really wear these vests that were just on? I've never seen anyone wearing anything like that locally. Just curious. It's item no. a279731 by C. Wonder.

I have seen tons of vests in Saks, Bloomingdales and Nordstrom's. Love the look, especially the sleeveless jacket look. I am eyeling this one

NJGirl, that one is pretty, but the one on the q is much longer.

I see a lot of vests.

The C Wonder one was not flattering, IMO. It swallowed Sharon up. The material isn't soft and flowing - it looked very stiff.

@NJgirl 1205 This grey is nice - looks like one offered on hsn by Liz Lange except the lapels folded out like on a typical jacket.

@Renata22 Ah, now I see what you meant.... I don't think I like the C Wonder version, nor would I know where or how to wear it.

I like the "suited" look with a blouse or turtleneck underneath for work with a pencil skirt or maybe narrow pants. I think it would also look cute with jeans. Still debating if I want to invest in something more substantial and pricier that I saw in Saks or if the Nordies version will do.

@PINKdogWOOD Thank you for the suggestion! I will definitely check it out. It may fit the bill if I decide to go the less expensive route.

@Renata22

I have a few actually but this C Wonder one looks nothing like a typical duster 'vest'.

I don't know what you would call it. Here's a sampling of what I have.

Long vests have been out over five years. I have a pretty grey one with black lapels from Stein Mart.

Can you really compare The Q with Saks, Bloomingdale and Nordstrom????

@Andreatoo The camel one (3rd down) totally appears to be the one I was talking about by Liz Lange. Is this one her's?

The long vest is nothing new. They were worn by cowboys in the Old West, dating back to the 1800's.

@PINKdogWOOD
Actually no. It's Slinky. I picked up the (burnt) orange on clearance but they're now sold out. It's a comfy ponte and I love the pockets

@Andreatoo My bad, yes slinky not LL.

Bingo, @Desertdi! That's exactly what I think about whenever I see them, especially in the camel and black. Put a long duster and Fedora on the model, and it's really funny....

I don't care for vests no matter the length. (On me, that is.)
