5 Back-to-School Styles to Steal From Your Kids

When girls want to dress up their tank tops, they pop on a cute vest to add some style. Leave crochet or overtly retro looks (like long fringed styles) to the kids and go with something more sophisticated.

Steal It: Look for menswear styles you can wear unbuttoned and layered over white blouses or fitted tees. Wear vests the modern way, which is to wear a longer shirt with the hem sticking out under vests instead of wearing it tucked in. You can pair a vest with trousers for work, jeans for play. Another way to wear this trend is to opt for pull-on sweater knit vests layered under a blazer when the weather gets cooler.

One of the biggest trends is to wear a faux fur vests. A fake fur vest looks great worn casually with jeans and a turtleneck or tee shirt or dressed up with black pants.
