It reminds us of Chandler from Friends, nerds in general, and private school uniforms, but the uncool sweater vest is now cooler than ever. Influencers, fashion editors, and celebs are embracing the nerdy knitwear! Whether you love it or hate it, the sweater vest is here to stay. Do you have a sweater vest on your wishlist but are left in the dark when it comes to styling it without looking like a college professor? We’ve put together 10 ways how to style a sweater vest!
How to style a sweater vest
A spencer is a fancier word for a knitted, sleeveless jumper. What’s so great about sweater vests? Well, you can wear them all year round, and it looks amazing on everyone. No matter shapes and sizes! What’s even better is that the sweater vest goes with every style; it makes your outfit just that little bit more interesting, no matter if you’re a classic woman or an edgy gal. Wear your sweater vest solo on warmer days, but pair it with something underneath in wintery temperatures. This can be anything you like: from turtlenecks to -oversized- blouses. Not only will the sweater vest keep you warm and comfy, but it puts a super stunning spin on all your outfits!
