While a warm fall coat can be an elegant piece in and of itself, one of their main problems is that they cover up whatever top you happen to be wearing. With a fashionable fall vest on the other hand, you can show off your favorite new sweater or top and keep warm! In the following you'll find out about the best women's vests for fall and where you can pick them up.
Neiman Marcus
This fall, Neiman Marcus is stocking a ton of high end fall vests. While many of them break the bank, they're designed to last you for the rest of your life and even be passed down to your daughter or granddaughter. Neiman currently sells the Tasha Tarno Pocket Detailed Fox Vest, which goes for $1,190. This one has a black dyed fox fur body with a spread collar, hidden hook and eye closures down the front and full coverage through the shoulder.
