4 Things You Didn’t Know About Longline Waterfall Vests
Longline vests are everywhere right now! I absolutely love this summer trend and for many reasons. The contrast of the length when paired with shorts or a casual summer dress is stunning and so very fashionable! There are so many different styles; military, blazer, kimono, fringe, crochet, and my personal favorite… waterfall. This silhouette is ideal for dressing up a casual look but there are also a few other reasons that you may not have considered of why every woman needs one in her closet.
Here’s 4 Things You Didn’t Know About Longline Waterfall Vests!
1- Drama Queen
It adds instant drama to any look! It will transform a Plain Jane look into a fabulous, eye-catching look. Fashion is like playing dress-up and sometimes bigger means more fun.
2- Feminine Beauty
The waterfall aspect of the vest is so feminine! This particular F21 piece is extra girly because of the nude/blush color but the waterfall silhouette alone is what gives it that delicate, romantic look.
3- Layers Upon Layers
The layering options are endless! Layers are typically reserved for the colder seasons, so I love that this trend allows us to play with layers year-round.
4- Modest Maven
Are you a little modest or just feel too old to be bearing it all? The longline vest adds just enough coverage to be mysterious without leaving you ‘buttoned-up’ like a snooty librarian.

that dress is so pretty–love the pattern. very fun trend!
That vest is lovely on you, and I like your printed dress! Some longline items can just swamp me (being petite) so I've never found the perfect ankle length vest or cardi yet, but I do look just in case I see something that looks as pretty as yours does! 🙂
Away From The Blue
Aw, thank you! You're so sweet, Mica. I'm definitely not as petite as you but I'm pretty short (5'0"). I have trouble with maxi dresses, but I can wear this vest with or without heels. You could totally wear this trend!
Love this! Is it bad that I can totally see you belting this because I've seen you belt so many things (including scarves which is probably my favorite)? I need to invest in one of these vests, I've seen them everywhere but haven't been able to buy one yet.

You're so right, Monica! I do have a thing for belts and you could totally belt this vest! I'm sure at one point I will! This particular vest is awesome. I got a bunch of stuff from F21 and they really are hit or miss with quality, but I really love the quality and material of this one. It also came in olive, which is the one I was originally going to get.
Love the vest over the dress! We are all for them. They also look great with skinny jeans and heels 🙂 Winks and Eyerolls

Thanks for reading, K! I like Kylie Jenner's style, too. I love how she's a little different than the rest of the Kardashian clan. She knows what her distinct style is and owns it!
I would love to own a vest like that. It looks so flowy and pretty over a colorful floral dress like yours. Pretty necklace too. Great styling Christie. =)
Welcome by, Ada. =)
Perfect styling of this feminine piece! You look beautiful!
Wishes & Reality
I've never heard the term 'Waterfall Vest' before or seen this type of vest. Is it called this because part of the vest is shorter? I have seen a lot of sleeveless, long vests on the market, and I really like them. I would like to try one for the layering aspect. You look very pretty in this outfit.
Thanks, Amy! I guess I sort of made up the term based on different trends that appears to be rolled into one with this vest. There is a such thing as a waterfall jacket, in which it has that flowy design. This just happens to be a vest version, which I've also seen little of. But it's such a great piece! There should be more out there! Thanks for reading, Amy!
Stunning vest on you! It looks amazing over your gorgeous dress!
I love vests and this is a great one, love this whole look 🙂

I had never considered it being an option to make an outfit a bit more modest, but it definitely does. Great point!
