Like its cardigan cousin, the sweater vest is a divisive member of the wardrobe family. Mocked for its grandpa-ready credentials by your "you could have found that in a thrift store" friends, this outlier has ridden the fringes of fashion for decades, experiencing multiple renaissances while at it.
The sweater vest was everywhere at the pre-Covid Fall/Winter runway shows of the world's biggest fashion houses earlier this year. Case in point: the fire Prada one on show above, which you just so happen to be able to shop below.
As well as the Prada piece, a healthy dose of sweater vests straight out of FW20 collections have hit stores recently, and we've rounded up some of the best sleeveless companions to warm your torsos as we transgress the edges of summer and welcome fall — a season ready and waiting for the sweater vest's layering prowess.
From Prada to the more affordable likes of COS, everyone's showing love to the knitted vest, and we're here for it.
