When the days get shorter in November, a few rituals kick in: I stock up on tea, bury myself in blankets, power up my brightest headlamp for evening walks, and bake obsessively so my house always smells like cinnamon sugar. And for all of it, I’m almost always wearing a vest.
Shoulder season is vest season. Always has been always will be. It’s that stretch of the year when we live in a constant state of temperature indecision. Step into the sun on a 50-degree day and it feels like summer. Take two steps into the shade, and suddenly you’re in the North Pole. Or the walk-in Costco fridge.
From a purely practical standpoint, vests are cold-weather essentials: they warm your core, boost overall body heat, and pack down small for fall hikes when space is at a premium. But if we’re honest, their biggest draw might be the vibes. And isn’t fall the vibiest season of them all?
As a vest connoisseur, here are my go-to women’s vests for everyday wear, high-output activities, and pure vibes.
