FAQ
Start with the fabric and construction, then check details like pockets, necklines, and closures. Knit textures, quilted stitching, buttons, and zippers can each bring a different feel to your everyday outfits.
A sweater vest has a knit construction, while a puffer vest has padded sections. We like sweater vests with button-up shirts for a prep-inspired look and puffer vests with sweatshirts for a casual outfit.
We reach for a T-shirt, long-sleeve tee, or button-up shirt under a sweater vest. For a puffer vest, try a sweatshirt or flannel shirt. Play with contrasting colors or let a printed shirt stand out against a solid vest.
Straight-leg jeans are an easy starting point with either knit or puffer vests. We also like baggy jeans with a sweater vest and tee for a relaxed, throwback look. Finish with sneakers or boots.
Check the care label before washing, since knit fabrics, padding, and outer materials can need different care. Follow the listed washing and drying directions, and check for separate instructions for trims or removable parts.
