By Jennah Owda Sweater vests are back in time for the cooler weather, and lucky for us, the academia aesthetic is back in season. If you have yet to style a sweater vest or believe that it is not your style, here are five ways to alter sweater vests to fit your aesthetic.
1. Business Casual
If you are going for the more business casual look, a nice white collared shirt will pair nicely with a plaid sweater vest. To make it a full outfit, pair the tops with some solid-color -ed trousers and some co -mfortable loafers. As for accessories, a croc pattern handbag and a sleek watch would make the outfit pop.
2. Alternative
If the alternative aesthetic suits you more, an oversized sweater vest tucked into a leather mini skirt would be the per -fect look for you. Pair the skirt with some fun Halloween-themed stockings. And, of course, a pair of Dr. Martens is a must. As for accessories, a black tote bag and some bulky silver rings will complement the grunge outfit.
3. Soft Girl
If the leather skirt and combat boots are not your thing, that is completely okay! To accomplish a softer look, I would opt out of the dark oversized sweater vest for a cropped pastel-colored sweater vest styled with a white tennis skirt and some chunky white sneakers. With colorful hair clips and a handbag that matches the vest, the look is complete.
4. Street Style
Street style and sweater vests seem contradictory, but these items make them go hand in hand. For this look, you will need an oversized solid-colored sweater vest and a complimentary plain white t-shirt that will be layered under the vest. Next, you will want to buy straight, wide jeans and a pair of Nike Jordans to finish the look. I love to accessorize my street looks with chunky necklaces and baseball caps.
5. Street Style
Cottagecore is my absolute favorite aesthetic because of how versatile it can be. To fix this look, you will need a white collared shirt to layer under a cropped sweater vest. With these two items, you will want to pair them with a long satin skirt. I love to pair my skirts with kneehigh boots, especially during the wintertime. This can be accessorized with a light-colored tote bag and a satin scarf.
