Instructions

How to Wear Baggy Sweater Vests

1. Don a loose-fitting sweater vest on top of a snug-fitting, leotard-style shirt. Put on a pair of black legging pants to complete this chic, yet trendy look. This style works well with a long sweater vest that loosely skims the hips and ends mid-thigh.

2. Create a perfect out-on-the-town outfit by pairing a baggy sweater vest with a classic white blouse and great-fitting jeans. Belted sweater vests that are slightly bloused and loose fitting look especially nice with this ensemble. Put on a pair of black heeled ankle boots and your look is complete.

3. Capitalize on the capri-style legging trend by wearing a baggy sweater vest over a baby-doll top and knee-length fitted capris. Top off this fun, flirty look with a pair of high-heeled cork sandals.

4. Create a multi-layered look that is great for casual Fridays at the office or a weekend lunch with the girls. Start out by wearing a close-fitting knit top underneath a printed button-down blouse. Add a loose and long sweater vest on top of those two layers, followed by a flowing scarf that hangs down on both sides of the sweater vest. Don a pair of casual khaki pants and your outfit is ready.

5. Pair a sleek, sophisticated sweater vest with a chic mini-dress. Add some black high-heeled knee boots to complete this stylish look.
