FASHION EDITOR

If you’ve got a wardrobe full of clothes, but nothing to wear, allow me to introduce you to the sweater vest, an unlikely style hero which has the potential to bring everything else you own to life.

It’s so much more than a useful layer for draughty homes: it can be worn over summer dresses to make them winter friendly, or over a shirt for a preppy office look. Under a blazer it lends warmth without adding bulk in the sleeves. And there’s a sweater vest to suit every style, whether your muse is Chandler Bing from Friends, Princess Diana or model Gigi Hadid.

The best bit though? You can probably pick one up for a bargain in the sales.

Wishing you a stylish weekend,
Tamara
