Last season Sergio Hudson leaned into the Western-inspired trend, layering one over a shirt and tie. And in the resort 2024 collections, Dsquared2 offered a rock-and-roll take for the guys.
On the street style scene, Katie Holmes is already on board. Earlier this month she stepped out wearing a modernized silhouette by Banana Republic.
Holmes paired her denim vest with matching flare jeans, but there are so many ways to wear the trend. Go the maxiskirt route for an unexpected polished twist, or anchor the look with a pair of pleated pants. In any case, this is the easiest way to test the waters of the Western theme without going overboard.
