Sweater Vests: A Selection

This is one I didn’t see coming. Sweater vests. As a prominent Fall/Winter 2020 trend. It has caught me a bit off guard. Not because I’ve ever been opposed to grandpa-style sweater vests — quite the contrary, knit vests have been a distinguished part of my wardrobe for years now. But solely because I wasn’t expecting to see quite that many argyle printed sweater vests being strutted down the Fall 2020 runways.

Argyle, in general, is a big print for this season. So an argyle printed knit vest — double whammy, in a good way. And houndstooth — a popular pattern option as well for this year.

Above are forty-four sweater vests, in solid and patterned, in lightweight and chunky, in cable knit and ribbed, in v-neck and turtleneck, pictured in ascending price order. And the first thirty-four options featured are under $100.

A popular way to style a sweater vest is layering an oversized vest option over a shirtdress. Try a white and cream combo for ultimate style points. Another idea: pair a knit vest over a tee and finish the look off with a short skirt and platform boots and shoulder bag and goodness you’re looking HAWT.
