2 Cute Ways To Wear A Denim Vest, Courtesy Of Gossip Girl

If the boho look just isn't your thing, wear your denim vest in a sleek and sexy way, a la Serena Van Der Woodsen. She went with a more menswear-inspired traditional vest (rather than a denim jacket without sleeves), and while her look is paired with some bright printed culottes, we think it would look just as chic with a skirt. Add some cagey peep-toe booties and a structured handbag, and you're in business:

There's really just one essential rule to making the new version of the denim vest look modern--go sleeveless! Anything else (long or short sleeves) will look like a late 80s/early 90s redux, and you definitely don't want that. What do you ladies think of these two Gossip Girl inspired outfit ideas? Would you wear them? Have you tried the denim vest trend yet? Discuss!
