The sleeveless blazer, also known as the vest, is the perfect versatile piece to elevate your wardrobe this season. I’ve been seeing them everywhere. One standout option is this chic black sleeveless vest I recently picked up from Shein, which costs under $15. Whether you’re dressing for a night out or putting together a polished work look, this budget-friendly item can be styled in countless ways. It can be a sophisticated completer piece, stand-alone top, or as a menswear vibe to an outfit. Here are six different ways to wear a sleeveless vest, showcasing its adaptability for both casual and professional settings.
With Jeans
Try pairing a black sleeveless blazer vest with cropped wide-leg denim over a printed floral blouse. The vest adds structure and balance to the flowy blouse and relaxed jeans, while the vibrant red flats inject a fun pop of color.

To add some edge to this potentially office-wear item, layer the black sleeveless blazer vest over a black lace top and pair it with sleek leather shorts. While it’s monochromatic, the varied texture in this outfit offers plenty of interest to keep it far from boring.

With a Maxi Skirt
Want to dress down this structure piece? Try adding sneakers and pairing it with a denim maxi skirt. I really like how the structured vest contrasts nicely with the relaxed feel of the maxi skirt. It’s perfect for running errands or a casual day out.

With a Dress
It’s easy to think of dresses as one piece and done. But there are still ways to switch them up by adding layers underneath or over top. The vest adds structure and modern edge to the soft, feminine lines of a flowy dress. It’s ideal for transitional weather or a casual night out.
