Fashion isn’t always functional. But this trend sure is! A vest is a great piece to help you transition from mild fall weather into chilly winter temperatures. Designers showed all different types from long fuzzy vests to shorter sweater versions. If you can only invest in one vest for the season, try the most versatile hemline: one that hits just below your hips.
