A relaxed boxy layer for easy layering
This plush knit sweater vest has a loose, boxy shape with a relaxed drape over the torso, a crew neckline, and wide dropped armholes that extend toward the shoulder seam, giving an easy, roomy fit when worn over other tops. Side buttons along the placket and a ribbed hem finish the look, as shown worn by a model in the product images.[2,3]
Plush knit layering piece
A fitted crew neckline for clean, easy layering
The close-fitting crew neckline sits neatly at the base of the neck and is finished in the same plush knit as the body, with no rib contrast. That clean, simple neckline keeps the focus on the side-button placket and makes this sleeveless vest an easy layer over a shirt or long-sleeve top.[2,3]
A plush sweater vest with a side button detail for sleeveless layering
Wear this sleeveless charcoal knit vest as a layered piece, with a crew neckline, wide dropped armholes, and a ribbed hem shaping the fit. The three round buttons set into the left side seam placket add a visible styling detail along the side while you wear it.[2,3]
A dark charcoal layer when you want a muted neutral
This loose plush sweater vest shows an even dark charcoal grey color across the garment, per the product image analysis. It can work when you are choosing a vest specifically for that deep gray shade to coordinate with your wardrobe. Note this color detail comes from a saved analysis of the product photo rather than a new inspection.[3]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Side Buttons Loose Plush Sweater Vest: Choose this if you want a sleeveless, loose boxy sweater vest in a soft plush stretch knit with a brushed finish, a crew neckline, wide dropped armholes, and a ribbed hem. It stands out with a vertical placket of round buttons along the left side seam and comes in Charcoal, Sand, Slate Blue, and Ochre Yellow in sizes X-Small through Large, though listed sizes vary by color. Note the blend includes alpaca and wool (12% and 5%) alongside reprocessed acrylic and recycled polyester, so it may not suit those avoiding animal fibers, and the below-the-waist length shown is specific to the model pictured.[1,2,3,4] | Loose Fluffy V-Neck Sweater Vest: Choose this if you want a loose, boxy sleeveless layering piece with a soft, fluffy knit look, a V-neck with ribbed trim, and a relaxed hem that sits near the waist on the model. It comes in Black, Light Grey, Chocolate/Espresso, and Slate Blue, each in sizes X-Small through X-Large. Note that it is mostly synthetic (61% reprocessed polyester with just 6% wool), so it may not suit shoppers seeking a primarily wool knit.[5,6,7,8] | Heathered Knit V-Neck Sweater Vest: Choose this if you want a boxy, sleeveless V-neck layer for business casual or semi-formal looks with collared shirts and dress pants, or relaxed weekend outfits with jeans. The stretch heathered knit in an acrylic and reprocessed cotton blend is lightweight for spring transitional wear, with ribbed trims at the moderate-depth neckline, wide slightly dropped armholes, and a straight hem finished with a wider ribbed band. Note that some customer reviews report the armholes may be cut too large, which can create visible gaps when worn over thin layers.[9,10,11] |

Fait petit et trop épais
Débardeur
Beaucoup trop large pour moi . Belle qualité par contre
Trop grand
Fait grand et je n’aimais pas l’effet sur moi. Belle couleur.
Débardeur
Trop lourd et fait grand, je l’ai retourné.
Très confortable
Ce débardeur est très confortable et pas trop chaud. Il est parfait pour porter sur une blouse de coton avec manche large et bouffante comme c’est la mode actuellement.
Very Warm
The vest is heavy and a little large, but overall will be nice for winter
Pas encore utilisé
Je suis en décision de le garder. Un peu inconfortable
