Sleeveless Jackets: 10 Reasons You Need One Now (PHOTOS)

10 Reasons You Should Own A Sleeveless Jacket

A vest brings to mind the pinstriped, cropped topper that Bonnie (or Clyde for that matter) would wear. Typically menswear-influenced, it's pretty easy to find one in any collection from Ralph Lauren or Dolce & Gabbana as part of their immaculate suits.
