While scanning for celebrity outfits to include in this post, I was surprised with the number of gorgeous street outfits celebrities wore with denim vest. There are just too many mix and match ideas I could include in a single post, which obviously isn´t possible.
Jessica Alba alone has mastered the tricks in styling a denim vest, add to that the exquisite style of Diane Kruger, Jessica Szhor, and more!. But why do celebrities love denim vest for street style? The answer is simple, because it gives that fresh take to any casual outfit and a stylish play on proportions. Here are some tips to remember in sporting a denim vest.

Tip: Do complement a bright look or a tonal combination with denim.
Denim vest is perfect to complement a bright outfit or complete a tonal mix. Diane Kruger´s striped midi dress, lace up boots and brim hat are all of the same tone, and her light washed denim vest is just the perfect finishing. On contrast, I went for a bright green striped midi dress and used a light blue denim vest to complement it.

But you´ll never go wrong teaming your printed pants with a plain white top, t-shirt or blouse. And that plain top doesn´t even have to be too plain! Add a denim vest, problem solved.

Jessica Alba is a master of denim to denim mixing. She doesn´t shy from rocking colored denim jeans and adding a denim vest to them. But there´s one important rule that she applies to make things work, she uses the topwear as a key player. If she´s wearing a printed or a bright colored denim, she tries it with a plain white or black tee layered with a denim vest. If she´s sporting pastel colored denim jeans and her vest is light washed, she goes for a printed top.
The same rule applies if you´re mixing denim vest with denim shorts.

Tip: Do play on proportions for maximum, effortless style.
There are super gorgeous maxi dresses that come printed with plunging neckline and sexy spaghetti straps. But sometimes you feel like covering your shoulders. How do you do it without sacrificing your look? Opt for a cropped denim vest. Playing up on proportions is crucial, team a short vest with a long dress, or vice-versa, then wear an infinity scarf around your neck as seen here on Jessica Alba.
