Best Bet: In Vest

Gear up for spring with a denim vest you can wear with anything. American Eagle Outfitters came out with a new version for the season, which has a worn-in look, but it doesn’t look worn out. The sleeves are frayed, almost as if you cut them yourself, and it fits like a loose, cropped cover-up, which means you can layer it on a variety of casual looks, from office outfits to weekendwear. And, even better, it’s under $40. Now that’s a proper investment.
