Not for: Anyone after a trendy cropped or chunky knit vest, or shoppers on a tight budget.
What the AI looks for in Men's Sweater Vests
- Gauge
- Choose fine gauge if you plan to wear it under a jacket. Thick vests bunch under tailoring.
- Armholes
- Armholes should be close enough not to gape, with ribbed edges that recover. Gaping armholes are the most common fit flaw in vests.
- Length
- The hem should just cover the belt. A vest that is too long looks like a dropped sweater. One that is too short shows the shirt.
Brands that matter
- Brooks Brothers: Traditional fine-gauge vests.
- Polo Ralph Lauren: Cable-knit vests.
- Uniqlo: Budget fine merino vests when in season.
What to avoid
- Acrylic vests with loose, stretched-out armholes
