It seems that, sometimes, designers want to incorporate layering pieces into their spring collections, but for spring and summer, it doesn't necessarily make sense to do a full-on coat. So, meet the sleeveless coat, which you might also call a long vest.

It's definitely an in-between season piece. For spring 2015, brands like Theory, Rag & Bone and Reed Krakoff mostly layered them over dresses, pants and top/shorts combos. For the most part, the arms were kept bare. 

Click through the gallery below for the best instances we noticed of the sleeveless coat/vest. Would you wear it?

I Need, I Want, I Have To Have: The New Penfield for Rag & Bone Winter Jacket

Classic outdoor apparel label Penfield has teamed up again with Rag & Bone to create a limited edition quilted down jacket for the holiday season. Winter coats, especially quilted puffers, are not particularly flattering. That's why we're pushing the military anorak as the winter coat of choice. Because while quilted parkas are very good at keeping you warm, they're also really good at rendering you into a shapeless blob. But the Penfield for Rag & Bone quilted winter jacket manages to avoid the Michelin man-effect. It's puffy and quilted and full of down but it's also tailored and even looks slimming. It's the perfect mix of Penfield's heritage look--it comes in charcoal Schoeller wool with snap front pockets and corduroy at the shoulders--with Rag & Bone's tailoring. The jacket is longer than most puffers that hit at the waist, accentuating the nipped-in waist.
