11 Sweater Vests to Take You From Work to the Weekend

Lailezou Women's V-Neck Knit Sweater Vest ($15-$28)

This sweater vest takes everything you love about cable-knit sweaters and morphs it into a more breathable, sleeveless, and downright vibrant style. The sweater vest is totally effortless, and we'd pair it with flared jeans and sneakers for a casual (and cute!) ensemble that's perfect to wear again and again.

Cider Knit V-Neck Cropped Sweater Vest ($26)

This red vintage sweater vest is a fail-safe addition to all your cold weather outfits. We love it styled on its own, but you could just as easily layer it on top of a white button-down for a more modest look.

Cider Oil Painting Graphic Sweater Vest ($26)

Something tells us Portia from "The White Lotus" would love squeezing this Cider sweater vest into her hilariously eccentric wardrobe, and we're totally here for it. Adorned with a whimsical landscape painting, this printed sweater vest is sure to turn heads and might even emerge as one of the more unforgettable styles in your winter wardrobe.

Quince Waffle Stitch Sweater Tank ($30)

Stick to the basics with this Quince sweater vest. It's finished with a ribbed trim and perfectly cropped to show off a high-waisted jean or embellished belt. Layer it on top of a white button-down shirt, and you've got a new, timeless ensemble to add to your office wardrobe.

Viottiset Oversized V-Neck Knit Sweater Vest ($33)

The affordability of this sweater vest from Amazon is really what drew us to the style, but the thousands of shoppers' rave reviews definitely didn't hurt, either. The brown houndstooth pattern is perfect for the prep obsessed, but there are also more than a dozen other colors and prints that the style is available in.

Target Chunky Knit Sweater Vest ($40, originally $50)

We're convinced chunky knits are pretty much always a good idea, which is why we're so taken with this Target sweater vest. It's great for a neutral wardrobe, and thanks to its shorter hemline, wearers can easily pair it with another long-sleeved top for a layered look, or simply wear it on its own styled as a sleeveless sweater.

Wit & Wisdom Cable Stitch Mock Neck Sweater Vest ($47, originally $78)

If the preppy nature of a classic sweater vest isn't your vibe (we totally get it!), consider opting for a sportier iteration like this patterned, boxy version. The style boasts all the same qualities we love about a sleeveless knit, just in a breathable design with wider sleeves.

Zara Sequin Knit Vest ($50)

From the first moment we saw this Zara vest, we knew we'd found a true winner. The lightweight vest features lots of sequins and the ultimate relaxed fit — making it a great statement piece to invest in for the fall and winter months.

English Factory Fitted Sweater Vest ($70)

It really doesn't get much cuter than this English Factory knit vest. The V-neck sweater vest fits more like a chunky knit, allowing the piece to drape effortlessly over the body without feeling too overbearing.

Maeve Collar Stitched Sweater Vest ($98)

If you're in the market for something more traditional like a collared sweater vest, we can't recommend this Maeve cable-knit sweater vest from Anthropologie enough. The style has a collared V-neck design that doubles as a great pullover piece. The sleek, dotted pattern is also so divine and adds just the right amount of contrast.

Anthropologie Sweater Vest ($98)

Not all sweater vests are what they seem, and this relaxed Anthropologie sweater vest is proof. The hybrid style blends the look of a relaxed pullover with a classic vest style, resulting in the winter fashion crossover of our dreams.
