Spring shopping tip? Invest in the suit vest. The menswear-inspired It item has notoriously reigned supreme amongst the street style scene, spotted on nearly everyone (and we mean everyone), from celebs to fashion girls alike. Some of its biggest supporters include Jennifer Lawrence and Sofia Richie. Gaining momentum over the last few seasons, the staple is reimagined for spring 2024 in chic, flattering silhouettes, cementing any look to polished perfection. Several also come equipped for summer’s much-anticipated arrival with delightful details including but not limited to: linen, bright whites, lightweight yet luxurious fits, and more. Should you find yourself in possession of this seasons most wanted item, now comes the fun part: styling your newly minted suit vest.
It’s a fact: No spring suit vest roundup could be completed without mention of The Frankie Shop’s asymmetrical style in classic khaki. Tailored for a cool yet unfussy fit, it pairs perfectly with La Ligne’s slinky black slip skirt and Cos’s scarf-like trench coat. Another cool-girl favorite comes courtesy of St. Agni. The masterfully minimalist label’s slate gray suit vest is a chic cohort for Mango’s cinched-waist blazer and a pair of knee-high boots from Khaite. Similarly luxurious is Favorite Daughter’s navy pinstripe pick, which to our delight rings up for under $300. Styling-wise, wear it with a pair of springtime trousers from Everlane and Zara’s little white ballet flats. When it comes to those seasonal pops of color, Staud’s matching powder blue suit whispers “chic” no matter which way it’s worn, though, we’ll be styling ours with a pair of chocolate brown suede loafers from Sam Edelman and an elegant belt from Toteme. And to tie it all together, Posse’s viral linen vest is at the top of our spring-to-summer shopping list, best worn with a pair of classic blue jeans and chic city sneakers from Tod’s.
Below, seven suit vest outfits to wear on repeat this spring. (Plus, more standout suit vest styles.)
The Frankie Shop’s asymmetrical suit vest takes a contemporary twist on the classics. Styling-wise, it’s the perfect mate for a masterfully minimalist outfit formula, which includes La Ligne’s slinky slip skirt, a pair of barely-there sandals from Jil Sander, and Cos’s scarf-adorned trench coat. Accessories, like Khaite’s spring-to-summer raffia tote and a silver cuff from Ben-Amun, are always welcome.

When the weather is warm one day and cool the next, a transitional outerwear option is a true layering essential, especially when styled with Favorite Daughter’s navy pinstripe suit vest. Complete the look in a pair of springtime trousers from Everlane and Zara’s little white fashion flats. Toteme’s newest handbag arrival is another must-have to add to the mix.

No spring color combination is trending now quite like powder blue and chocolate brown.
