Sure, you can wear a sweatervest with a formal buttondown shirt and casual jeans, but you can also invert the fashion formula for an outfit that’s more visually interesting. Simply pair your sweatervest with a foundation of a casual tee and a pair of formal trousers. Here’s how to get the rest of the sweatervest look:
1. Start with a simple tee and a pair of wide leg trouser pants.
2. Layer on a cropped sweatervest over the t-shirt. Note how the texture of the sweatervest contrasts with the smooth knit of the tee.
3. Throw on a long tailored blazer. Note how the shawl collar of the vest looks so rich from underneath the blazer.
4. Accessorize with a bright pair of pumps and a casually chic tote. Don’t you love how the pumps visually pop?

Go classic Spring with a gorgeous Gingham print clutch. We love the patent leather accents paired with the checked fabric print. Plus, if you get tired of holding the clutch, you can sling it over your shoulder with its optional shoulder strap.
$34 at Payless.

We asked: Would you wear Gingham?
You said: Yes to Gingham, with a 58% to 42% vote.
Style tip? Gingham is such a fresh Spring look. Pair it with garments that give off an equal insouciance: white trousers (for guys and girls), denim skirts, and bright colors. We love a classic blue gingham, but you can also branch out and try the pattern in other colorways.
Next question: Animal prints are not just for our animal friends–zebra prints, in particular, are taking Spring by storm. Tell us, would you wear Animal Prints? Cast your vote on the sidebar!
