Sweater Vest + 90s Denim.

The sweater vest rises again.

2021 has arrived and so has the revival of the sweater vest. No longer reserved for Clueless Halloween costumes, the modern versions are slightly oversized and look best when paired with a slouchy button-up shirt. The resulting combo is preppy but not stuffy. I picked up this sweater vest from Nasty Gal (similar versions here and here) and layered a simple shirt underneath.

How to complete this ensemble? A pair of 90s-style straight leg jeans. These Levi’s have a high waist, a relaxed leg, and are free of distressing or whiskering. Just a classic denim wash. I gave them a cuff and slipped on a pair of nude booties. Et voilà! A cool, casual outfit that’ll stretch into early spring.

Want something more forgiving than denim? Take this vest and shirt combo and swap the jeans for a pair of leggings. Just as chic, a little comfier. I also really like the dress versions that can be worn with leggings and boots now, or a simple ankle boot and bare legs later.

Have you taken the sweater vest for a test drive just yet?

  1. Eep, you look so chic! I definitely have a sweater vest lingering in my wardrobe from my preppier days, but have to invest in one that’s a little more up to date. I am a big advocate of bringing this trend back <3
