In this week's episode of "'90s Fashion Trends That Have Inevitably Made a Comeback" (not an actual TV show, but probably should be!), we have the suit vest — the perfect embodiment of business-casual fashion. Let us explain: suit vests certainly aren't new to mainstream fashion, but they are seeing a major resurgence this fall — with the style proving to not only be polished enough to wear to the office (even better with a trouser pant, to match) but also edgy enough to wear out on your next date night or even to a swanky evening soirée. The sleek, day-to-night piece can be sported on its own or even layered with another tailored top.

In the spirit of this style's resurgence, we've scoured the internet in search of the absolute best suit vests for women to wear this fall — with pieces from some of our favorite retailers like Zara, Anthropologie, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Banana Republic, Wolf & Badger, and more. Whether you're in the market for a sleek, black suit vest to wear to the office, an edgy denim style to layer for fall, or just a versatile suit vest that will take you from work to evening cocktails and beyond, there's a variation ahead that's sure to be a staple in your wardrobe this season.
