I am wearing it as a sleeveless top here but I do wear it as a vest (ie layered over sleeved tops) during cool weather. The British seem to describe most sleeveless tops as vests. I have noticed this on Asos. In Australia we would probably describe it as a knit or jumper, as we don't use the term "sweater". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579773 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 17:22:01 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1579773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are fantastic! Your style sense is amazing--pairing just the right few pieces together. As Rachylou points out! The jewelry choices are really key. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579754 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 16:23:20 +0000 Sara L. 1579754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both. The flares are very flattering and I like your shoe choice with the crops.&nbsp; I'm having some problems with terminology - why is this a vest and not just a sleeveless sweater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579746 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 15:52:24 +0000 celia 1579746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both versions. I guess the flares is more unexpected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579713 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 14:30:35 +0000 Angie 1579713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful. I especially love the version with the crops. Killer combo.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579670 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 12:15:52 +0000 rute 1579670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love with the</p> <p>cropped jeans but they both look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579656 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 11:27:03 +0000 Brooklyn 1579656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks CocoC. I agree with you about Piper. Nice fabrications (cotton, linen, silk) at an affordable price. I always check them out when I am in Myer.<br /> And how good was it that a girl won the Melbourne Cup today. Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579618 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 06:23:27 +0000 Cococat 1579618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been to a Melbourne Cup 'do' and I have 3 glasses of champers under my belt...lol...apologies upfront if I talk some nonsense...(O_o)</p> <p>Both looks are fab Brooklyn. The second pic with the crops and mules caught my eye first, but I quite like the first look as well, even though I'm not so fond of flares (can't get past the 70s vibe). The flares are very flattering.</p> <p>The sweater vest is great. I really like Piper. Along with CR, my favorite pieces seem to be from there and they're bringing in nicer thing all of the time. </p> <p>OK, I need a nap now. (-_-)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579576 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 04:08:16 +0000 Brooklyn 1579576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bonnie G, Joy, Maneera, rachylou and Shevia.<br /> Joy, it's interesting that the flares read as dressier even though they are distressed.<br /> Rachylou, hot I am not but I loved your comment. :)<br /> Sally, I know what you mean about the err... thigh issue. I was going to comment about that myself in the post but reconsidered. I don't know why flares and bootcuts ever went out of fashion when they are so flattering. Although skinnies still win hands down for practicality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579540 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 03:05:55 +0000 Jaime 1579540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great both ways. The flares are more of a retro now look, and the cropped jeans are equally current. Different vibes but equally fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579535 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 02:58:14 +0000 rachylou 1579535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gee. Just a few pieces and whammo! Hot! lol</p> <p>You're good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579528 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 02:49:57 +0000 Maneera 1579528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is absolutely fab! I think you're the perfect model for - how to wear your sweater vest! The proportions you have created are great here. While I love love love the look with flares, the skinny jeans look equally cool and flattering. Great WIW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579507 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 02:15:43 +0000 Anonymous 1579507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vest looks fab sleeveless. I like it with the flares best but I tend to like dressier looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579502 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 01:42:00 +0000 Bonnie 1579502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vest looks perfect with the flares and crops. You look fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579501 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 01:37:10 +0000 Sal 1579501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw a pic of me today wearing flares (it was from a few years ago as I do not own any at the moment) and it made me realise I want some badly!! &nbsp;They do a great job of balancing out my thighs....... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579497 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 01:32:57 +0000 Brooklyn 1579497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks AG.

I never thought about it that way but I think you are right. I think the crops are more sporty and more tomboyish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579489 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 01:23:24 +0000 Suz 1579489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous vest! Love the way you've styled it. It works equally with the flares and the skinnies.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579479 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 00:28:19 +0000 Sal 1579479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear the sweater vest better than the model.</p> <p>I love both stylings, it is interesting to see the different vibes the skinnies give (more sporty) to the flares (more elegant).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579473 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 00:20:45 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1579473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great, but I'm especially loving the flares. Those booties/sandals work so well with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-vest-with-flarescropped-jeans#post-1579462 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 23:53:51 +0000 Brooklyn 1579462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie posted about sweater vests being a trend for Fall. It is Spring here but I bought a few of these items during our autumn/winter. I wore them layered over long sleeve or short sleeve tops during the colder weather but now that it is warmer I am wearing them sleeveless. The one I am wearing here is cotton so it doesn't make me hot.<br /> I have worn it casually over the last couple of weeks with both flares and cropped jeans, so I thought I would show both. I think the flares are more flattering. Certainly the flares are cooler to wear in warm weather. And not just because they have holes in them!<br /> Outfit 1:<br /> Cotton sweater vest from piper (Myer)<br /> Blank NYC semi distressed flares<br /> Frye mules<br /> Jewellery by Samantha wills and ottoman<br /> Outfit 2:<br /> Same vest<br /> Rag and Bone Capri jeans. I created a find for these but Aussies please note that I got them at David jones for less than $100. Much less than the U.S. Price. Now that hardly ever happens.<br /> Same shoes<br /> Jewellery by Samantha wills, Vanessa mooney, pandora.<br /> Comments, questions etc are welcome </p>
