Eloquii Cropped Suiting Vest vs Plus Size Acid Wash Cropped Denim Vest

The Eloquii vest is the tailored pick: a structured suiting fabric with a V-neck, front buttons and a matching waist tie that cinches the waist, so it reads as office or evening wear. The denim vest is casual and cropped at 15 inches, with acid wash and distressing, and its cotton-spandex blend gives some stretch. Reviewers of suiting vests like the Eloquii one praise the clean lines and the tie's shaping, while denim vest owners like the throw-on ease but note the hand wash and the raw, distressed finish. Buy the Eloquii for polish and waist definition; buy the denim for weekend layering.

• Choose the Eloquii Cropped Suiting Vest if you want a tailored, button-front layer with a waist tie for work, dinners or dressed-up outfits.
• Choose the Plus Size Acid Wash Cropped Distressed Denim Vest if you want a casual, stretchy cropped layer for jeans, tees and weekend outfits.
