This vest is cut so well, I wore it three times in the first week I owned it: First with a matching navy skirt, second with a white maxi skirt, and third with navy shorts. All three ways, I was asked where I bought it.

Sizes: XS–XL

What reviewers are saying: "Material and construction feel extremely high quality. Lays beautifully and feels really comfortable. I had been wanting one of these linen vests for at least a year and I’m so glad I finally pulled the trigger."

This linen vest earns its name, in every shade from creamy white to navy pinstripe. "We've seen it worn to weddings, parties, work—even on the red carpet," Favorite Daughter cofounder Sara Foster Foster said.

Sizes: XS–XL

What reviewers are saying: "Love this vest! Runs a bit more snug in the waist than my other pieces the same size but cut and fit are so flattering. I love that the V-neck and arm holes are high enough that they are work appropriate (even for my conservative work environment) but still fashion forward. This vest can truly do double duty."
