How To Style A Sweater Vest - Effortless Style Nashville (2024)

The sweater vest… A practical and forever classic that has come and gone on the fashion scene for as long as we can all remember. The sweater vest began to make its resurgence into the fall style scene last fall… And this fall, you will see them everywhere! Today, let’s chat about how to style a sweater vest.

The Sweater Vest Trend

Sweater vests have been around forever, though admittedly, they have come in and out “of style”. Well ladies, they are back! This fall, we are seeing all kinds of sweater vests! Oversized, fitted, cropped, tunic…. Solid, polka dot, argyle, floral…. Wool, cashmere, cable knit, cotton… There is a sweater vest out there for everyone!

Sweater vests are indeed easy to love. For one thing, they are one of the most versatile layering pieces you can have for the season! They can add warmth without necessarily adding bulk. Also, sweater vests tend to go with everything. Wear your sweater vest alone as a top, or layer your favorite tee shirt, button-up shirt, or turtleneck underneath. You can even use your sweater vest as a layering tank of sorts under your favorite blazer, oversized sweater, or suede or leather jacket.
