A denim vest is typically worn during hotter months to spice up summer outfits. Add it to your own favorite summertime outfits to make your look more interesting and give yourself a fashionable edge. It's also seen as more on the casual side due to its association with jeans, so don't try to pull it off in more elegant situations unless you're extremely confident it works. While it's possible to wear a denim vest during colder seasons, the lack of bulk and cloth make the item of clothing little more than a fashion accessory. Save your denim vest for spring, summer and early fall. Pair your denim vest with existing items in your wardrobe. A vest is usually paired with sundresses, shorts, a floor-length skirt, and loose fitting pants. If it's spring or fall, you can also pair a denim vest with an all-black outfit to give it a pop of color Denim vests are best paired with black outfits, crop-tops, colorful pants, and stripes to both spice up and neutralize worn colors. Wearing denim vests with other denim is doable, but requires the two items of clothing to be of two obviously different washes. After you've properly sported your denim vest, know how to properly keep it clean. Denim is a very strong material originally invented to withstand a blue-collar workday but is very sensitive to washing. Washing too much can cause your denim to lose its color. Spot-clean your denim vest with a toothbrush and a minimal amount of laundry detergent. This will only clean the vest on a need-to-clean basis and save it from the wear and tear of a normal washing machine. Soak your vest in vinegar and water. Water itself will cause the vest to lose its color. Vinegar helps conserve the color. Soak the vest for about an hour before hanging it up to dry. The same technique can be used with a washing machine by washing your vest on the hand-wash setting and adding vinegar over laundry detergent.
