It’s a fact: No fall suit vest roundup could be completed without mention of The Frankie Shop’s asymmetrical style in classic beige. Tailored for a cool yet unfussy fit, it pairs perfectly with Wardrobe.NYC’s bright white boxer shorts and an oversized leather bomber jacket from Vince. Another cool-girl favorite comes courtesy of Veronica de Piante. The masterfully minimalist label’s structured black suit vest is a chic cohort for Massimo Dutti’s clean-lined suede skirt and a pair of croc-embellished boots from Studio Amelia.
On the opposite side of the sartorial spectrum, there’s Helsa’s off-white linen vest, which we suggest styling with Molly Goddard’s playful patterned midiskirt and a cherry red La Ligne cardigan. Also fun, find Posse’s chic camel choice, pairing perfectly with Mango’s cropped trench coat and Le Monde Beryl’s raisin-colored, patent penny loafers. The result? A transitional outfit formula that tackles the seasonal switch-up in serious style!
Below, eight suit vest outfits to wear on repeat this fall—plus, a few more standout suit vest styles.
The Short Suit Set With a Thong Sandal
From work to play, Wardrobe.NYC’s short suit set is a style duo to rely on this fall. As seen on the street style set, wear yours with a heeled thong sandal from Toteme and Mango’s button-up leather jacket for when the weather dips in temperatures. The Row’s Half Moon bag in the color raisin is a must-have handbag in your rotation, while Danish-based brand Lié Studio’s drop earrings add the sparkle.
The Red-Hot With a Tailored Trouser
We aren’t over last year’s It’color just yet! Yes, red is still dominating our transitional wardrobes, with all eyes on Staud’s square-neck, button-up vest. Polish off the look in a pair of gray pinstripe trousers from The Garment and Lisa Yang’s camel crewneck draped over your shoulders as a sweater-like scarf. Meanwhile, Dries Van Noten’s retro sneakers are finally back in stock— we’re especially loving this bright white pair.
The Structured Style With a Sleek Suede Skirt
This fall, all things are coming up suede. Give both trends a go in one with Veronica de Piante’s structured black vest and Massimo Dutti’s clean-lined suede skirt. Add in J.Crew’s python-effect handbag and a pair of croc-embellished boots from Studio Amelia to end on a textural note. Other accessories include Jacques Marie Mage’s tinted sunnies and a gold cuff bracelet from Jordan Road.
The Seasonal White With a Playful, Patterned Midiskirt
As we hold onto to those last few fleeting moments of summer, Helsa’s bright white linen vest is a prized piece that not only looks great now, but well into fall, too. Styling-wise, lean into the more maximalist side of your personality with Molly Goddard’s playful, patterned midiskirt and a cherry red cardigan from La Ligne. Complete the look in a pair of tassel-adorned, penny loafers from Flattered and St. Agni’s classic black handbag. Don’t forget about those little white ankle socks, either!
The Asymmetrical Option With a Leather Bomber Jacket
The Frankie Shop’s asymmetrical suit vest puts a contemporary twist on the classics. Styling-wise, it’s the perfect mate for a masterfully minimalist outfit formula, which includes Wardrobe.NYC’s mini boxer shorts, Vince’s oversized leather bomber jacket, and a pair of chocolate brown suede mules from Veronica Beard. Prada’s suede top-handle bag and some silver drop earrings from Alighieri are also always welcome.
The Boatneck Style With an Leopard-Print Kitten Heel
Like the versatile LBD, Róhe’s tailored, boatneck style vest has ample closet appeal. For fall, style yours with an embellished midiskirt, also from the brand, and a pair of leopard-print kitten heels from Source Unknown. J.Crew x Maryam Nassir Zadeh’s floral hair accessory is a romantic touch, while Bottega Veneta’s newest beige handbag and a pair of Spinelli Kilcollin’s mixed-metal earrings end on a modern note.
The Chic Camel Choice With a Cropped Trench Coat
When the weather is warm one day and cool the next, a transitional outerwear option, like Mango’s cropped trench coat, is a true layering essential, especially when worn over Posse’s chic camel suit vest. To tie the entire look together, slip into Proenza Schouler’s built-in-belted denim skirt and a pair of Le Monde Beryl raisin-colored, patent penny loafers. Khaite’s studded Elena bag adds some welcome edge into the look.
The Notable Navy With a Cool Corduroy
Allow us to introduce you to our favorite new neutral for fall: navy. Here, shop Theory’s timeless button-up vest and a pair of baggy khaki corduroys from Max Mara to go alongside. Church’s fisherman sandals keep the summer vibes going, while Lié Studio’s roomy leather tote is a seasonless star. Jewels from Saint Laurent and Agmes shine, too.
