Not every look works on everybody.

Hence, while you may be cute and spunky in overalls, your roommate becomes an oversize My Buddy doll.

Despite the rumblings we’ve heard about the Great Vest Comeback of 2005, we figured we’d leave it to dandies, butlers, and prom dates.

Until we came across Sid, the standout piece in Rock Star Tea Party, the first fall collection from Alessi Bennett, designed by two 24-year-old Parsons grads.

The vest, which combines masculine style with a feminine cut, is made of herringbone and houndstooth wools. Brass chains drape from shoulder to buttons, reminiscent of vintage pocket watches. It will remind you of your grandpa’s suits — minus the musty scent.

The delicate cut and lace detailing along the shoulder will please even the girliest of girls. Wear it over a long, fitted tunic or beg the bra question by wearing it alone. Either way, anyone can pull it off.

Unlike the Daisy Duke. That was ugly.
