Long vests were all over the SS 2015 runways. Although not as functional as other staples such as jackets, tailored long vests immediately create a streamlined silhouette and inject a touch of polish into almost any outfit. Skinny jeans, wide-leg pants, mini-skirts, dresses... Long vests go virtually with everything. Click here if you need some inspiration.
Here I paired this Topshop tailored long vest with a pair of straight-leg pants I bought in Guatemala to create a strong contrast between British peppiness and Latino free spirit. What do you think?
Vest: Topshop Sleeveless Ponte Jacket (available in Topshop, Nordstrom, also available in color rust and grey)

For your curiosity, here is a close-up shot for the traditional woven pants every Guatemalan wears. Amazing colors and patterns!
