How to Style a Sweater Vest

One trend I was slow to get into at first? Sweater vests! I didn’t know how to successfully style a sweater vest until this season when the trend gained more popularity. On Pinterest, TikTok, and on Instagram, I continued to see other fashion gals wear preppy sweater vests for the fall.

How to Style a Sweater Vest: With A Mini Skirt

The look you see featured above this paragraph includes a cozy wool mini skirt from Abercrombie. This is the first way to style a sweater vest for the fall. Underneath my neutral/white sweater vest, I am wearing a white button down.

To make this outfit work, I tucked in my white button down into my wool skirt. The sweater vest I have on is in my usual size medium and it grazes the top of my mini skirt.

For this look, I wore a pair of scrunch knee high boots from Target with a quilted shoulder bag. Once I saw the look come together in my fall outfits video, I knew I had to recreate it for a photo shoot with Sara.

Casual Styling: Sweater Vest with Jeans

Opt for a more casual approach to wearing a sweater vest with jeans. A pair of straight leg jeans that I own and wear a lot is the Old Navy OG Straight Leg Denim. Honestly, I really like how my cropped sweater vest from Abercrombie looks over a white button down which is why I chose to wear it the same way here.
