To vest or not to vest?

I can't decide where I stand on the issue of vests. Part of me thinks they're way too trendy and that, even if they weren't, it might be too late for me to try and adopt them. And yet I'm still tempted. For me, the key would be to find one that takes its cues from Savile Row-sharply tailored, simple, and menswear-inspired, to play up its classic quality. I like this one by Alexander Wang for all the aforementioned reasons. Overall it's very traditional, but rolled cap sleeves and a pair of grosgrain ribbons on the back give it a modern nudge. I could see it adding an interesting element to jeans and a tee, or layering it over a wispy sundress to lend a tough edge. But I'm on the fence. What do you guys think?
