Of course, sweater vests aren't just for fashion—they are the ultimate way to layer as the weather changes. Still a little warm out? Wear it as is like a tank or over a plain T-shirt. Then when it starts to get cold, go classic prep and pair it with a button-down shirt. Throw on a blazer for a more polished look or make it more casual by wearing it over your favorite pair of jeans. Not that you need a reason to try a trend, but isn't that versatility a great excuse to buy one? You're welcome.
You'll find everything from cute cropped options to slouchy, stylish oversized looks. Naturally, we included some more traditional options that will never go out of style, too. It's all about what you feel looks best on you and goes with whatever you have in your closet already. So go on, choose your favorite and put some prep in your step this season!
