Sweater Vests..
Why are they back? Some of them are cute, but the ones with paisley and designs all over them need to go!

Re: Sweater Vests..
I feel as if the only prints a sweater vest should be is either argyle or fairisle.

Re: Sweater Vests..
Put a turtleneck or an oxford cloth shirt under it and I'd wear it.I miss 80's preppy styles. Sometimes I try to recreate them with some hardcore LLBean outfits and people ask me if I am from Maine or something.

Re: Sweater Vests..
OMG i was so preppy in the 80's. My dad lived in MA. and i had a lot of friends there. So a lot of Dexter shoes, fisherman sweaters, turtlenecks under sweatshirts or sweaters. i was more sporty preppy than geeky yuppy preppy.I still love preppy too!
(as long as neon and acid wash/bubblegum jeans don't come back.)

I can just see the next GTG. We'll all be decked out in pleated skirts and button down shirts with sweater vests.

Re: Sweater Vests..
The argyle and the solids can be cute. Those other ones are so not my thing!

Re: Sweater Vests..
It's so funny that you mention this. Just a couple days ago my FH says 'I need to get a sweater vest' and I'm like 'Babe, NOBODY needs to get a sweater vest'I don't like them
ETA: ESPECIALLY On a man

Re: Sweater Vests..
they can look nice on men if done correctly...think Jack on Will and Grace...its all about personal style and preference...
I do not like the old lady vests/cardigan ones...you know?

Re: Sweater Vests..
I LOVE sweater vests - especially on men! Only when fitted though, like Erica describes. I've been buying my DH them for 2 yrs now and he looks adorable in them!!!
