Sweater vests for men - are you feelin' it?
Filed under: Clothing, Vintage and Retro, Men
With cooler weather coming just around the corner, we've noticed that all of the conditions are right for a sweaterific fall and winter for men's fashion. Cardigans, turtlenecks, and yes, even the nerdiest of all -- sweater vests -- seem to be turning up in all sorts of fall collections. While the sweater vest is an easy way to add some colorful layers to your wardrobe, we kinda have to wonder if men are really going to embrace the sweater vest this season -- or if that's just wishful thinking. From what we've gathered, this year's sweater vest look is all about the pattern -- and the nerdier the better. Forget solids or pinstripes, its all about checks, argyles, or a bold houndstooth. Basically, anything reminiscent of an ugly retro sweater that your parents dressed you in as a toddler. We like the depth that a SV can bring to an outfit, but we don't expect to see many on the street. What do you think? Is the sweater vest going to be a hot item this fall?

Sweater vests are the one item of clothing on a man that can bring me to my knees.
(Not like that, you dirty fashionistas.)
They are the single most sexiest knitted item ever. It takes CONFIDENCE to wear one.

This would look great on the right guy. In that nerdy-sexy kind of way.
