What the AI looks for in Girls' Sweater Vests
- Neckline
- Choose a V-neck to wear over collared uniform shirts and blouses. The V-neck lets the collar lie flat and is what most dress codes expect.
- Armhole fit
- Armholes should sit close without binding over a long-sleeve shirt. Gaping armholes look sloppy, while tight ones bunch the shirt sleeve.
- Uniform colour match
- Buy from the brand on the school's approved list, or match the exact colour name. Navy and green vary enough from brand to brand to fail a uniform check.
- Hem length
- The hem should cover the waistband of a skirt or trousers when the child raises her arms. Vests that ride up expose an untucked shirt.
Brands that matter
- Lands' End: Durable uniform vests and frequent school-approved colours.
- French Toast: Widely available uniform vests in standard colours.
- The Children's Place: Budget uniform vests.
What to avoid
- Crew-neck vests when the shirt underneath has a collar.
- Thin acrylic vests that stretch at the armholes after a few washes.
