Could anyone have predicted that sweater vests – yep, those sleeveless jumpers, just like your granddad wears – would be the hottest fashion trend of 2020?

It’s true, we swear.

Just take a gander around the Instagram pages of influencers and fashion types and you’ll spot a load of grandparent-y knitwear, styled over shirts in clashing prints or worn alone as a sort of slinky knitted tank top.

The trend has made it to the runways, with sweater vests appearing in the 2020 collections of Gucci, Prada, and Dior.

And an even more glowing endorsement comes from TikTok teens, who favour oversized sweater vests worn over tiny tennis skirts.

They’re actually a rather genius addition to your wardrobe for that in-between seasons weather. When it’s warmer than expected, you can wear your sweater vest alone with a skirt, then use it to add some warmth to a shirt or dress when you’re feeling the chill but not quite ready to commit to a coat.
