As we shrug off our coats and embrace spring dresses, this is the added layer that’s both stylish and practical.
It’s that time of the year where we’re starting to peel back the layers. Ditching coats for jackets, tights for bare legs and Uggs for fancy flats, it truly is the season to start having fun with fashion again. But while we de-robe ever so gently – cautious not to invite another cold spell – we’re in need of lighter layers until the sun gets a little bit stronger. So, yet again, we reach for knitted vest tops, a style that has once again resurfaced on the fashion scene and become an all-weather staple.
Whether styled over a dress as a simple way to warm it up or paired with jeans for a cool and casual style, they’re one of the most versatile pieces you can pick up right now. And we promise you’ll be able to turn to it for a whole host of occasions, whether brightening up a crisp white shirt or adding texture to your favourite featherweight dress. With that in mind, we’ve handpicked some of our favourite finds from both the high street and the high end.
Boden textured striped cotton tank
For those after a more funky find, Boden has truly delivered. This 100% cotton cop is not only soft and cosy but makes quite the style statement with its graphic stripe pattern, too.
Hush Bobbie wool blend vest
If you’re looking to really make a statement, this vibrant green Hush option is sure to work wonders. Simple in shape, it will slip over any shirt or dress and can easily be worn alone as the focal point of any outfit.
M&S Merino wool with cashmere knitted vest
Few brands can beat M&S when it comes to high quality fabrics at high street prices, and this knitted vest is just another great example. In a simple shape and basic black shade, it will pair perfectly with almost anything in your wardrobe.
Rejina Pyo Spencer vest alpaca blend mint
Rejina Pyo is a Fashion Week regular with incredibly wearable pieces. This fuss-free find is simple and sleek, while the mint green colourway completely screams spring. Plus, as it’s made from a Merino wool and alpaca blend, it’s definitely warm as well.
Live Unlimited curve knitted vest
Nice and neutral, this Live Unlimited style is one of our favourite finds. Crafted from 100% cotton, it’s both durable and workable with almost any outfit as the simple ribbed shape lends itself to those who prefer a pared-back look.
Jigsaw alpaca blend U-neck tank
Pretty in pink, this vest top will brighten up any look, stepping back into Barbiecore. Despite its bold shade, the simple shape means that it can be paired with almost any outfit, while the alpaca blend makes it wonderfully warm.
Aligne Isla V-neck tie-front knit vest top
Leaning into the coquette fashion realm, this Aligne option will please those into the current uber-feminine trend, thanks to its vibrant red shade and bow-tied front. While you can wear it with nothing underneath for a more edgy look, a simple white shirt will make it a little more office-appropriate.
Toast chunky cotton knitted tank
Toast certainly knows what it’s doing when it comes to knitwear, creating small collections of stunning, snuggly pieces. This orange option is not only cosy, thanks to being crafted from 100% cotton, but will also brighten up your wardrobe in time for spring, too.
Monsoon Bri knit sweater vest green
Gorgeous in green, this Monsoon option makes for a more formal fit. With silver battered buttons and a vintage-like feel, it’s sure to elevate any office-worthy outfit and accentuate even a chic white shirt.
