Jenna Ortega Resurrects the Going-Out Vest

Jenna Ortega Resurrects the Going-Out Vest

Rather than embrace the glam-rock look that Stefano Gallici sent down the runway, however, Ortega and Melendez opted to revive the vest-over-shirt look of yore: underneath her vest, she wore a gray waffle crewneck shirt, its long sleeves falling over her hands.

While Ortega’s Wednesday Season 2 press tour was chock full of gothic glamour—from her reptilian Ashi Studios dress to her shredded custom GapStudio look—this coordinated yet nonchalant look hovered on the more lowkey end of the spectrum.

Ortega isn’t the only celeb invested in the vest, either. Earlier this summer, Zoë Kravitz paired a cropped black waistcoat with a pair of low-slung pinstripe trousers, a black bandana, wraparound shades, and a Jessica McCormack cord choker with a massive diamond pendant.

With both Jenna Ortega and Zoë Kravitz cosigning the going-out vest, it’s only a matter of time before they’re back in the zeitgeist. But to wear an undershirt or not to wear an undershirt? That is the question.
