Sweater Vests for Spring
Happy Sunday boys and girls
Hope you’re all having a lovely Sunday. Leave a comment below what you’ve been up to. Friday night was my belated birthday dinner with the girls from work. We had an amazing tapas meal, but were unfortunately freezing outside. Luckily indoor dining starts tomorrow here in the UK. Saturday I got brunch with a friend in Kensington and today I went to Colombia Road Flower Market to check out this season’s best blooms with my friend, Kardelen. Feeling lucky to have life going back to a bit of normality here in the UK.
Today, I wanted to talk about one of this season’s unexpected rising trend stars, the sweater vest. When hearing the words “sweater vest” your brain might immediately jump to the likes of Chandler Bing from Friends or some other cliché nerdy character from the 90s, but this season, they have become a must-have piece. Style icons like Harry Styles and Bella Hadid have even been rocking them and contributing to their popularity, so for this week’s blog post I thought I’d talk about how to style them.
Dress to Impress
For this look, I decided to throw my sweater vest over this classic shirt dress from Zara for added interest and a bit more warmth (unfortunately the weather here in the UK is still a bit chilly). I complimented the loose fitting look with a pair of fitted sock boots and layered some necklaces to add to the preppy nature of a sweater vest. You probably have some kind of shirt dress in your wardrobe already, so it’s perfect to try out with your sweater vest.
Going solo
For those of you living in places where the weather has decided to be a bit warmer, rock the sweater vest on its own, like a tank top. I’d pair it with my favourite jeans and a leather blazer for the ultimate and effortless cool girl look. Throw on your favourite sunnies to finish off the look.
Over it
If you’re a fan of preppy styles, try wearing your sweater vest over a button up shirt and pairing it with a cute tennis skirt. Finish off the look with some white trainers and ponytail hair style.
