What is a "vest"?
A vest is a sleeveless garment that covers the upper body and is typically worn over a shirt or blouse. Vests come in a variety of styles, including button-ups or pullovers, and are made from a range of materials such as wool, cotton, or leather. They can be worn as a standalone piece, but are more commonly used as a layering option to add warmth and style to an outfit. Vests have been popular for both men and women for centuries and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
