In recent seasons, sweater-vests have become very close to a wardrobe essential. With endless layering and styling options, the sweater-vest is an asset that choice brands, including Dries Van Noten and Bottega Veneta, come back to season after season. The seemingly nerdy trend actually blends timeless charm with modern versatility.
How to style them:
When it comes to a sweater-vest, styling opportunities are endless, giving the silhouette new life in every season. In the spring, style a fitted, shrunken option with a pleated mini or midi skirt and loafers. In the fall, swap out the skirt for a pair of relaxed trousers or jeans for a The Row–esque ensemble. You can also toss one on over a button-down shirt or short-sleeve T-shirt.
