Now, let&#8217;s delve into the details of sweater vests for a more comprehensive understanding &#8211; from hues and prints to size selection. Additionally, we will explore how you can harmonize your vest with other clothing and accessories in your wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a more formal and classic style, choose a monochrome sweater vest. A white shirt is both professional and stylish, particularly when paired with a sleek V-neck vest that highlights the collar of the shirt. Opt for high-waisted and wide-leg or choose a midi skirt. Another option is to choose a cotton shirt dress suitable for the work environment and match it with a sweater vest. <a href=\"https:\/\/stylewithingrid.com\/business-casual-capsule-wardrobe\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Here<\/a> you can learn more about creating a business casual capsule wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you chose a sweater vest with a pattern (and especially if it is dominated by bright colors) &#8211; it should become the main focus of your outfit. This means that the rest of your outfit should be monochrome. Straight-cut vests look great with flared pants and chunky shoes. Wear a cardigan or blazer on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the size, both a slightly fitted vest and a slightly larger one will look good on the shirt. A cropped sweater vest looks great with a high-waisted pencil skirt and a white shirt if you want to recreate the preppy style. Another option is to choose high-waist flared trousers or jeans. Oversized vests are a fabulous trend and they should be paired with fitted pants and chunkier shoes to create a visual balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knitted vests are also perfect for the summer season. They look great with high-waisted shorts. Don&#8217;t forget the classic summer look of a cotton dress and a knitted vest. Choose knits with cotton or less density to avoid getting too hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knitted vests are also a summer wardrobe staple. Pair them with high-waisted shorts to create an effortless, stylish look, or go for the classic combination of a cotton dress and your favorite knitted vest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a summer style, try matching knitted vests with high-waisted shorts. Alternatively, layer your look by wearing a cotton dress over the vest. Remember this though: select lightweight knits from breathable fabrics to ensure you remain cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we learned <strong>how to style a sweater dress<\/strong> with different outfit ideas and tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, sweater vests are versatile garments that can be styled for any occasion. When choosing a vest, think about the occasions and outfits that you can create with the clothes you already have. Select vests in solid hues for more outfit versatility, and remember to have two statement pieces in your wardrobe &#8211; one plain, one patterned &#8211; to maximize your outfit options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featured image by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/a-beautiful-woman-wearing-purple-knit-vest-9784444\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Mikhail&nbsp;Nilov<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sweater vest trend is here to stay and it\u2019s time to learn how to style&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1811,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stylewithingrid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1794"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stylewithingrid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stylewithingrid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stylewithingrid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stylewithingrid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1794"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/stylewithingrid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1794\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3613,"href":"https:\/\/stylewithingrid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1794\/revisions\/3613"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stylewithingrid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stylewithingrid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stylewithingrid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stylewithingrid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
