It's often difficult to make most vests look good and not seem out of place.
Obviously variations like a sweater vest can be easier to dress up/down.
And in terms of vest with a 3 piece suit, overkill in most places you'd find yourself gaming.
Regular suit or my preference, suit without tie, collar open, and pocket square.
If you're trying to dress up a look without full suit or getting too hot/sweaty, I'd say your time is better in invested in researching diff. fabrics and colour combos of shirts and blazers/sportcoats.
Then you can adapt to different climates on the fly, compared to someone putting on/taking off a vest midway through an evening.
