The Space-Dye Sweater Vest

This is the piece that makes a plain outfit look put together. The knit is soft and a little fuzzy, with a wool blend that's warm without being heavy. The color is cream with soft rust and blue streaks, so it goes with almost everything and adds a little interest. The side buttons and slits let it sit nicely over high-rise bottoms and give you room to move when you're sitting or bending down.

It's cropped and boxy, so it pairs well with wide-leg jeans and trousers. Layer it over a long sleeve tee, a button-up, or a fitted turtleneck when it gets colder, or wear it on its own with a tank underneath. It's an easy one for the school pickup line, a day at the office, or a pumpkin patch weekend.

Fit: Kelly is 5'3", 145 lbs, wearing a Small. It has a relaxed, boxy fit with cap sleeves and a cropped length that hits at the hip.
