14 Sweater Vests to Take You From Work to the Weekend

Lailezou Women's V-Neck Knit Sweater Vest ($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.

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.

Old Navy V-Neck Sweater Vest ($32, originally $37)

Not all sweater vests are what they seem, and this relaxed Old Navy sweater vest is proof. The hybrid style blends the look of a relaxed cardigan with that of a classic vest style, and it's got contrasting patterns on the front and back, resulting in the winter-fashion crossover of our dreams.

Halogen Open Stitch Cotton Crop Sweater Vest ($40, originally $79)

Stick to the basics with this Halogen sweater vest. While cropped sweater vests are proving to be super popular these days, this style boasts the perfect length, finished with a rib trim and the perfect slouch for those looking to embrace a refined and proportional look. Layer it on top of a white button-down shirt, and you've got a new, timeless ensemble to add to your office wardrobe.

Wit & Wisdom Cable Stitch Mock Neck Sweater Vest ($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 simple black sweater vest. The style boasts all the same qualities we love about a sleeveless knit, just in a breathable design with wider sleeves.

Sandro Poisson Sleeveless Crop Sweater ($220)

We're convinced stripes are pretty much always a good idea, which is why we're so taken with this Sandro sweater vest from Nordstrom. The piece plays into a neutral color palette, with shades of black and ecru. Thanks to its shorter hemline, wearers can easily pair it with another long-sleeved top for a more layered look or simply wear it on its own styled as a sweater tank. Perhaps you'll even pick up the matching skirt and cardigan.

Vintage Argyle Sweater Vest ($23)

This argyle-print vintage sweater vest is a fail-safe addition to your outfit. We love it styled with a short-sleeved top, but you could just as easily layer it on top of a white button-down for a more conservative flair — or, of course, wear it with nothing underneath if it's fitted enough for you.

Cider Duck Pattern Contrasting Sweater Vest ($24)

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 alternating duck designs, this printed sweater vest is sure to turn heads and might even emerge as one of the more unforgettable styles in your winter wardrobe.

Mango Knitted Vest With Zipper ($50)

This Mango sweater vest screams '90s fashion in all the best ways. While traditional sweater vests usually just rest on the shoulders, this piece has a little something extra thanks to a sporty zipper down the neckline. It's the detail we never knew we needed!

Zara Cropped Knit Vest ($60)

From the first moment we saw this Zara vest, we knew we'd found a true winner. While the vest looks lightweight, it's actually crafted from a cozy textured material that provides ample warmth — making it a great layer to invest in for the fall and winter months.

Maeve Collared Cable-Knit Sweater Vest ($60, originally $98)

If you're in the market for something more traditional like a white 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 striped lining is also so divine and adds just the right amount of contrast.

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.

Everlane The Alpaca V-Neck Vest ($98)

This sleeveless sweater vest from Everlane is made from recycled nylon and Responsible Alpaca merino wool, so you can feel good about wearing a cute and eco-conscious style. If you're not quite ready to jump into bright colors this season, the cozy knit is perfect in its light tiger's eye shade.

Lululemon Cable-Knit Relaxed-Fit Sweater Vest ($128)

Invest in a sleeveless sweater vest that's as bold as you are with this Lululemon sweater vest. Crafted from a plush chunky knit fabric, the style is equally chic and long lasting. Wear it with a classic pair of black slacks and chunky loafers for the most timeless business-casual work outfit.
