I’m so glad to see linen vests making a comeback. They can easily double as chic going out tops that look stunning alone, or as a matching set with the breeziest linen pants! These versatile vests are perfect for summertime, too, since the linen lends itself to a good amount of breathability.
Whether you're dressing up for a cute brunch date or keeping it casual for a stroll in the park, consider these 9 linen vests your new go-to for looking effortlessly stylish.

The Drop Esma Linen Vest
This first linen vest comes in a fun olive green color for standing out! It features most of the classic details a linen vest should, like some trendy vertical seaming and a buttoned front. It's made from a 55% linen and 45% cotton material, which works wonders for breathability alongside the already loose-fitting silhouette.
The Esma Linen Vest from The Drop is also shoppable in black and white and sizes XXS-5X for $50.
Nordstrom
Madewell Single Breasted Linen Vest
This 100% linen number is super smooth, so there's no added distractions to your look. The button closure up the front is totally concealed, and there's three pretty discreet pockets for practical purposes. The v-neck shape is scooped in the back, making for modest coverage. This piece is lightly lined to keep things completely comfortable.
The Madewell Single Breasted Linen Vest is also available in a natural white linen coloration and sizes 00-16 for $50 (was $78).
Target
A New Day Tailored Suit Vest
This Target linen vest is all about the buttons, baby! It's super on-trend with a subtly cropped length and contrasting brown buttons. The v-shaped notches at the front hem elevate things a bit, so you could easily wear this to the office. This pick is crafted from a lightweight fabric with full lining.
The Tailored Suit Vest from A New Day is also available in 4 other colorways and sizes XS-4X for $25.
J.Crew
J.Crew Collection Suit Vest in Italian Linen Blend
This boxy-fit vest is the perfect party top since it's sprinkled with sparkly metallic threads throughout the fabric! I love how seamless it looks, even styled on its own. This piece has a 5-button design down the front and an adjustable belt on the back, which can cinch your waistline a bit for an ultra-flattering look.
The J.Crew Collection Suit Vest in Italian Linen Blend is now available in sizes 2-24 for $160 (was $178).
Abercrombie & Fitch
Abercrombie & Fitch Premium Linen Vest Set Top
The squared-off scoopneck on this vest shakes things up a bit, as opposed to the traditional v-neck shape you see on most linen vests. This style also boasts tailored, curved seaming along the bust and midsection, which smooth out your bod for flattering effect. You'll feel the ultimate breathability from the 100% linen fabric and 100% cotton lining!
The Abercrombie & Fitch Premium Linen Vest Set Top is also shoppable in white and black and sizes XXS-XL for $70.
Walmart
Scoop Tailored Linen Vest
The wider pinstripes on this pick give it a very polished look that you can take with you just about anywhere! It's cut from 55% linen and 45% rayon, so it may not feel as soft as a vest that's 100% linen. This piece does have a fairly deep v-neck, so you might want to make sure you have a layer underneath if coverage is a concern. This vest flaunts an easy three-button closure up at the front.
The Scoop Tailored Linen Vest is also available in black and sizes XS-XXL for $26.
J.Crew
J.Crew Scoopneck Linen-Blend Vest
The color-matching buttons on this linen-blend vest make things look extremely smooth and polished. The material it's made from is subtly textured and soft to the touch, which makes wearing it even better. This pick is meant to be more fitted, as it hugs your curves comfortably. It boasts a trendy squared-off, scooped neckline that lets you show some collarbone.
The J.Crew Scoopneck Linen-Blend Vest is now available in 4 other colors and sizes 00-24 for $63 (was $90).
Nordstrom
Steve Madden Selene Linen Blend Vest
This color is very peachy and perfect for summertime! This 55% linen, 45% viscose vest exhibits a classic v-neck, three buttons, and two pockets with welted seams at the front. Additionally, there's some flattering vertical seaming that guides your silhouette without being too restricting.
The Steve Madden Selene Linen Blend Vest is currently shoppable in sizes S-M for $69.
Nordstrom
Faithfull the Brand Stanze Linen Vest
The curved hem on this 100% linen vest almost gives a peplum effect, but it's a touch chicer and more unique. The piece features a bowtie around the back for pulling it all together and defining your waistline. You'll find 4 buttons up front and a lined layer throughout this vest.
The Stanze Linen Vest from Faithfull the Brand is currently available in sizes XS-XL for $149.
