It’s official: Vests are the perfect match for jeans in 2025

Vests are one of those versatile pieces that can completely transform an outfit. While they’ve long been a staple in winter wardrobes, in the warmer months, they take on a new life. Heavy knits and insulating fabrics give way to breezy linens and cool cottons. And that’s just the beginning of their seasonal comeback.

Whether worn as a layering piece to add dimension or as the centrepiece of a look, this season’s fashion trends show vests paired with everything—pants, skirts, and shorts. But it’s their pairing with jeans that’s capturing the most attention among fashion insiders. Why? Because it’s the perfect way to elevate casual denim and take a break from the go-to white tee. So here is your ultimate guide to styling vests with jeans this season.

When it comes to jeans, narrowing it down to just one “perfect” style for this trend is unnecessary—and missing the point. The beauty of this pairing lies in its versatility. Whatever the silhouette, cut, or wash, just about any pair of jeans works beautifully with a vest. Here’s how to pull it off.
