How to Shop Smart Based on Budget and Lifestyle?

You don’t always need the most expensive option—just the one that fits your usage.

Set a budget by need: everyday comfort, workout gear, or occasion styling. Spend more when you’ll wear it often, and choose combos for basics.

What’s a good budget for daily-wear vests vs. style-oriented vests?

Here’s a simple framework:

When should you invest more in quality over quantity?

When comfort, durability, or visibility matters.

Invest more when the vest is part of your outerwear or something you’ll wear often—like daily gymwear or workplace layering pieces.

• If it’s hidden under shirts, go for multipacks
• If it’s a statement piece—invest in design, fit, and feel

Conclusion

From ₹100 basics to ₹5000 fashion pieces, vests cover every budget and purpose. Know your need, check your fabric, and shop at the right time to get the best value—without compromising comfort or style.
