Cropped Jackets and Cropped Vests

A jacket provides enough warmth for your body on cold days. A vest is a simple sleeveless jacket that adds a bit more style to an outfit. It used to be that I fail to understand wearing jackets that don't cover the lower body on cold days. However, cropped jackets and vests can both be every bit as stylish and functional as their longer counterparts. This blog post is all about cropped jackets and cropped vests. So if you like short jackets and short vests, this is a post I think you can appreciate.

How about an individual look at cropped jackets and cropped vests? That's what this section is about.

Cropped Jackets.

Cropped jackets are primarily designed to provide warmth without needing a full-length jacket of some kind. Let's just say that cropped jackets are a happy medium between wearing a jacket and wearing a shrug. Cropped jackets are warm enough to keep your shoulders and arms warm. Simple warmth is provided by wearing any kind of jacket. Cropped jackets differ greatly from boleros and shrugs. Unlike boleros, cropped jackets can be fastened. Cropped jackets are more proper in providing warmth than sweater-like shrugs. So if you want proper warmth for your shoulders and/or arms, a cropped jacket is better than a bolero or a shrug.

The most common cropped jackets I see are mostly denim cropped jackets, or maybe sometimes some cropped corduroy jackets. They nicely compliment a simple T-shirt and jeans look. Another cropped jacket look usually involves toughening up a girly look with a cropped leather jacket of some sort. The girl wanting to look cute can benefit from a cropped denim jacket with rolled-up sleeves either above or below the elbows.

I wouldn't recommend wearing a cropped jacket when it is very cold. You need a warmer and longer jacket (or even a coat) to be able to stay warm on colder days.

Cropped Vests.

^ from: www.amazon.com - Cropped denim jackets can provide a bit of toughness, but not extremely tough.


^ from: www.amazon.com - A cropped vest. This specific one was meant for plus size figures.

Wearing a simple vest will add a little style to an outfit. A cropped vest provides the same amount of attention and detail. I would mostly see cropped vests go with dainty sundresses- especially denim cropped vests. Non-denim cropped vests are usually worn casually or with certain chic looks. Unlike jackets, vests are a bit more versatile. Cropped vests are even more versatile. They can almost be like adding a shrug to an outfit- a cropped vest is very simple and basic.

Are you the daring type? Some cropped vests could be worn by themselves as sexy belly-baring tops. Some cropped vests can also be fairly risqué if the vest has such a deep neckline or allow too much cleavage. If you are somewhat skittish, try wearing a bra or bralet or something underneath to feel a bit more covered.


So there is your look at cropped jackets and cropped vests.

--- Cropped Jackets and Vests: Final Thoughts ---

Cropped jackets and cropped vests are simple ways to add style to any outfit without having to have full-length jackets or vests. Even though cropped jackets can be a great to wear on cold days, I would not recommend wearing cropped jackets on very cold days because you'll need a longer jacket (or a coat) to better cover your extremities on colder days. Cropped vests are almost as throw-on quality as a bolero or a shrug. They, like any other vest, can be simple and easy to wear to compliment a certain look. Some vests can be worn alone as tops; and some daring females can wear some cropped vests as sexy, belly-baring tops.

No matter what the case, a cropped jacket or a cropped vest can be every bit as stylish and wearable as their longer and warmer counterparts.
