The Sweater Vest
If you’re keen to unlock the ultimate everyday staple, the sweater vest is your safest bet. They’re versatile enough to guide you from leisure to the old faithful “jeans and a nice top” formula. If you want to skip the autumn layering, try wearing the sweater vest on its own with jeans and sneaker or boots. The perfect transitional look is a scallop-edged or V-neck {sweater vest} with bare arms. Pair with a delicate {bralette} that peeks out from underneath. Style with {loose jeans}, statement {jewellery} and {boots} for a casual weekend fit.
Get inspired by a look that strikes the perfect balance between elegant and cool, while also adding an ounce of ‘80s sweater vest outfit. The contrast of {sweater vest} with sleek {loose jeans} forms an outfit that’s just undone enough to work perfectly for a weekend at home or a coffee date. A subtle {black lace bralette} underneath taps in on the sophisticated sensual trend, while black {sneakers} keep the look practical enough for round-the-clock use. Complete the fit with a {scarf} and statement {necklace}.

This autumn, we’re embracing the tonal approach. Another trend accompanying sweater vests in our feeds this season is the rise of the monochromatic outfit.

This outfit works well with {white trainers} for an ideal stay-at-home look, or dress things up by adding a colourful pair of {heels}.
