Ms. S&C would say she is having a sweater vest moment, but truth is she has been having a sweater vest moment her whole life.
I still have a vest from the Gap that I bought a hundred years ago when in high school. Even though it no longer fits and has one or two moth holes, it still sparks joy! I have another Fair Isle vest from my college years. Whatever one’s opinion is of the Gap now, it made some timeless classics 20+ years ago!
The prospect of Spring has me thinking about layers, and there is no better option for layering than a smart little sweater vest. Here are a few options that caught Ms. S&C’s eye recently.
Need additional vest inspiration? Town & Country has a 15 Best Sweater Vests for Women, and even though this Vogue article is a few years old, it has swoon-worthy styles.
As for shoes, Ms. S&C still has these Frye oxfords (from over a decade ago!) to complete her nerdy chic look.
Irina’s Aspen design won. Yes, there was a little too much camel color, but it was definitely the most complete look. The ski-inspired pants, the open-back cowl neck sweater, the faux fur vest — all very sophisticated. Too bad her personality isn’t as warm as these clothes. But, no doubt she’ll be a finalist at Bryant Park.
