What: Sweater vests are back

The Lowdown: While buttoned waistcoats are on their way out, the sweater vest is enjoying a certain resurgence. A fine-gauge knit adds layers and texture, but not too much bulk. To wear it right, pick dark, classic colors like black or grey and you’ll find that they work with just about everything. A fitted button-down shirt, sweater vest, and slacks are all you need to achieve a casually tailored look. Merino wool provides plenty of warmth, so feel free to ditch that jacket once we start heading into spring.
