12 Men's Sweater Vest Styles for This Fall

As this Standard High V-Neck Vest proves, no one makes better basics than Calvin Klein. Knit from a breathable blend of cotton and merino wool, the versatile sleeveless pullover can be dressed up or down for practically any occasion. Its high v-neck, relaxed fit, and rib-knit trim stay true to the designer's roots in 90s New York minimalism. Both the black and bone-white color options make an excellent addition to any fall wardrobe.

For the most refined gentleman, there's William Lockie's Oxton Cotton Sweater Vest. The family-run knitwear label scours the globe to find the highest quality raw materials possible, like this ultra-soft cashmere sourced from Chinese and Mongolian mountain goats. Indonesian mother-of-pearl buttons bring added sophistication to the sand-colored fabric. Designed with layering in mind, the lightweight layering piece works well under a blazer or over a simple short-sleeve tee.

A British menswear designer Wales Bonner's Cashmere Clarinet Sweater Vest. Knit with a jacquard-wave design and trimmed with a striped V-neck and armholes, the layerable vest instantly elevates any outfit. It's crafted from a blend of cashmere, mohair, and merino wool that provides warmth without feeling itchy. Though soft enough to wear solo, it looks particularly stylish layered over button-up shirts, basic tees, and fitted turtlenecks.

Level up your streetwear looks with this Cropped Distressed Cotton Sweater Vest from TAKAHIROMIYASHITA TheSoloist. The grungy V-neck sweater vest is knit from vibrant green cotton with distressing details along the neckline and hem. Layer it over jeans and a t-shirt, hoodie, or casual button-up— or wear it solo for serious style points.

Polo Ralph Lauren Men's Argyle Wool Sweater Vest stays true to the style's prep school roots. It's intarsia-knit with thick wool yarn to create a classic argyle print. A traditional fit and rib-knit trim along the v-neckline, armholes, and hem lend a polished, put-together feel. Pair it with a collared shirt and tie for even more of an Ivy League vibe.

Massimo Alba's luxury knitwear is the epitome of casual Italian elegance. Crafted from a blend of silk and mohair yarns, this timeless Sweater Vest embodies the high-end fabrications and fine Italian craftsmanship that sets the Milan-based designer apart from the rest. Ribbed edges and a rich charcoal grey color create a classic look that withstands the test of time.

When the weather starts to turn, slip on this Mainsail Sweater Vest from Cutter & Buck for adjustable added warmth. The practical vest features a heather grey sweater-knit exterior and a cozy brushed fleece interior with a full zip front for easy temperature control.

Priya Ahluwalia's eponymous clothing label explores the designer's Indian-Nigerian heritage through unique textiles and patchwork techniques. This layerable Dhoom Knit Sweater Vest boasts intricate diamond-patterned jacquard knit that plays on traditional argyle prints.

Under the helm of new head designer Brendon Babenzien, J.Crew has officially become cool again.

The classic V-neck sweater vest is crafted using cashmere responsibly sourced from Inner Mongolia and certified to the AbTF's The Good Cashmere Standard®, which assures the welfare of cashmere goats and local farm workers.

A zip-front sweater vest like Vineyard Vines' Mountain Fleece Sweater Vest makes a great lightweight layer for outdoor fall activities. Wear it over a long-sleeve tee or crewneck sweatshirt for a trip to the apple orchard, pumpkin patch, or perhaps just the grocery store around the corner. A zip-front closure and side zip pockets keep your belongings secure and your body temperature just right. Offered in light heather grey and navy, it provides the everyday wearability your fall wardrobe needs.

Stocking up on fall basics? It's worth snagging H&M's affordable Relaxed Fit V-Neck Sweater Vest in both color options. Knit from 100% cotton; it's surprisingly lightweight and breathable. A relaxed fit, v-neckline, and rib trim add structure while keeping a laid-back feel. Though ideal for temperamental fall weather, it's truly a year-round piece.

John Smedley's Stavely Knitted Wool Vest comes in an elegant midnight blue color suitable for professional and formal settings.
