Annie Hall was one of the first women in pop culture to wear a women's vest in the famous film by Woody Allen of the same title. The stylizations of Diane Keaton, who played Annie, suggest the power dressing trend. It's a way of dressing that has helped women gain a position in the professional and political environment, until now dominated by men.
Until now, a women's sleeveless jacket has been used as an addition formalizing the outfit, often business-oriented. Want to add some internal strength? Reach for a Gucci vest, fur or maxi, in a trench coat version.
Women's vest - borrowed from the men's wardrobe
This is a more serious form of this stylistic element. However, it doesn't mean you can only use it in a three-piece suit. It emphasizes the waist and builds a "strong" silhouette.

What to wear this type of vest with? Get inspired by Annie Hall and wear it with palazzo or Swedish trousers, with a white shirt. Add fashionable loafers, loafers, or oxfords to this. The whole can be diversified with a wide-brim hat. This is a timeless, elegant proposal with a touch of nonchalance.
Another, more contemporary inspiration without a hint of vintage or retro will be the combination of a women's vest with a white shirt and skinny jeans and heels. Throw a jacket in a pattern matching the vest or plain, smooth, in a color matching the vest.
Women's sleeveless jacket - wear it like a dress!
If you don't like borrowing elements from men's wardrobe (your style is ultra-feminine), opt for a women's sleeveless jacket that resembles a dress cut. Such is the black Gucci vest, adorned with golden buttons, made from a mix of high-quality wool and silk. It has four chest and hip pockets that "round off" the silhouette a bit.
The waist is marked with a belt with the brand's logo. On summer days, you can wear it alone, combined with flat sandals or heels. In fall and winter, it will be a great base for a patterned shirt and high boots or ankle boots with heels.

Another women's sleeveless jacket is a trenchcoat vest, reminiscent of a sleeveless coat. It looks spectacular tied with a belt when its flaps flutter in the wind. You can wear it like a coat, layered, with a warm woolen sweater underneath or a knitted, tight dress and high boots or heels. Heels will give the whole lightness. This is a comfortable and fashionable solution for warmer winter days.
What to combine a fur vest with?
A much less formal type of vest than mentioned is the one made of fur (of course synthetic). Due to its cut and fluffy, thick material, it is most often oversize. What to combine a fur vest with so that the styling looks perfect?
It will look great in a set with a patterned boho maxi dress, but not only. Combine it with a thin, fitted turtleneck and tapered trousers, and you will get a striking effect. Another interesting idea for a fur vest is a midi skirt (e.g., sun), a patterned blouse, and column boots.
With such "abundant" outerwear, stick to the principle that the rest should be definitely closer to the body. A belt will also come in handy to highlight the figure.
As you can see, a women's sleeveless jacket offers many possibilities for fashionable and expressive combinations. It is worth having it to complement even a classic, typical office outfit with a white shirt. You will definitely find a way to use it.
