The Best Women's Vests to Bundle Up In This Fall

My high-school preppy self would have loved to own one of these quilted vests, along with taking horseback riding lessons. Though I can still do both as an adult, I'll settle for getting this vest first. Riding lessons are harder to come by in NYC.

With over 4,000 ratings, this affordable vest is a favorite of Amazon shoppers. Based on the reviews, this vest runs on the smaller side and the material is a little more stiff, with less pile if that's a deal break for you. If not, scoop up the vest in several colors.

This super lightweight vest has a water repellent coating and can be folded down to store in its carrying pouch, making it the perfect packable option for your camping trips. The vest comes in several colors and is your most basic easy-to-wear style.

This casual vest is good to wear for your after-dinner strolls on a crisp fall night or if you're an early bird who likes to get a run in before work. It's fully lined on the inside and features a classic quilted pattern.

On the opposite end of the spectrum is this watermelon-colored vest that's anything but plain. The piece features a front zip pocket and runs a little longer in length for those who want something pass their hips.

There's no shortage of vest selections on Amazon with thousands of ratings, and this one has more than 2,700 comments on it. Fans of the piece say it's well made, lightweight, and super cute. This is your no-fuss piece to throw on, whether you're taking out the trash or walking the dog. 

For a thicker shearling vest that feels luxurious to the touch, opt for this plush style from Coach. It's inspired by your traditional camping gear, except you won't be embarrassed to wear this when you're out of the woods.

I hate when the wind blows into my ears, so I always pick an outerwear option with a hood. If you're the same, you'll want to go with this plush fleece hooded vest. You won't get a headache, or earache, with this on. 

If the word "vest" conjures up a cozy knit piece you can layer on top of your other clothes, this H&M option is for you. The cream-colored knit looks great over a button-down shirt or even a billowy floral midi dress complete with knee-high boots.

This slightly oversize houndstooth vest feels classic but also cool because it's not quite so fitted to your body. Whether you choose to layer it with a shirt like that on the model or an even thicker, chunky knit sweater, you'll find that the houndstooth print adds just the right amount of pizazz to all your looks.

If your style is not preppy, you'll gravitate towards this light green utility vest. It has sharp lines and curved edges along with a deep v-neck cut and four flap pockets for storing your essentials. Rock with the matching cargo pants for a one-of-a-kind uniform.

This beige puffer vest will come in handy when you're looking for the one that matches all your outfits. Drawstrings on the front help cinch in the vest closer to your body while the oversize, padded style gives it that fashion-forward touch. 

A corset-inspired vest you can wear as a shirt (I also immediately picture Bella Hadid in this number). However, if you're not feeling the plunging neckline and skin-baring look, this vest can easily be strapped on over your favorite top.

If you're looking for a more fashun vest, this is it. The padded faux leather plus puffy style gives it a voluminous look, thereby making it a statement piece.

If you already have a denim jacket, then the next piece you need to get is a denim vest. This faded blue one has a vintage feel and can be worn well into the colder months by layering thick sweaters or tops underneath it.

Aritzia's Super Puff jackets are immensely popular with the fashion crowd, but if you don't need another puffer, consider getting the vest alternative. The Super Puff vest contains responsibly sourced goose down and is made from "an innovative Japanese ripstop fabric that's water-repellent, wind-resistant and gives when you move." 

You thought you've seen every style of vest—until now. This unique leather utility vest comes in a harness-inspired design, so it'll make the wearer feel both bold and edgy.

Swap out your blazers for this long camel vest on your Zoom calls. Not only is it less stuffy looking, but you can stay comfortable and presentable in front of your manager.

This reversible lace-up vest means you're getting a two-for-one deal. When you're in the mood to wear plaid, simply flip it to that side.
