Sweater vest

A sweater vest is a sleeveless knitted top, usually with a V or crew neckline, worn over a shirt or alone. It adds a warm middle layer and a tidy, layered look without bulk on the arms. Styles run from slim preppy V-necks and argyle patterns to relaxed, oversized modern versions.

Worn over a collared shirt, it gives a scholarly, preppy effect with the collar and cuffs peeking out; worn solo over bare arms, it reads more contemporary and minimal.

The sweater vest is a signature of preppy and dark academia dressing and an easy third piece for layering.
