Depending on where you are in the world, a vest can also be called a waistcoat, and is customarily part of a three piece suit though can be worn as a separate. Effortless chic, the waistcoat is the perfect garment for daytime formal or semi-formal wear for women.
For evening, simply pair the waistcoat with dressier pieces. Swap the daytime denim for a smarter bottom for example high-waisted tailored pants or a skirt. Layer it on top of more formal fabrics like silks, or dare to wear it alone for a bolder, trendy look.
The most significant difference between a shrug and a bolero is its length and style. Generally, boleros are longer than shrugs and often have more complex, dressier designs.

For moat people of average height, a 3/4 length coat (just above the knee) is most flattering. If you're petite a slightly shorter coat is often better.
The most significant difference between the two garments is in the weight of the jacket. While gilets are more lightweight in design and most often function as a mid-layer, body warmers are usually bulkier and are more commonly worn as outer layers.
