Layering over a button-down for autumn days
This speckled cable-knit sweater vest works as an autumn layer over a button-down shirt, whether you're dressing for the office or keeping it casual. According to the size chart, even a smaller size still fits over a shirt, so you can layer without sizing up.[1]
Wear it to social gatherings
One reviewer wore this speckled cable-knit vest to social gatherings, where friends asked where it came from and wanted one of their own. This comes from a single review, so it reflects one shopper's experience rather than a guaranteed reaction.[1]
A fall-ready knit vest worn on its own
Reviewers describe this cable-knit vest as perfect for fall, crediting its autumn-ready color and texture. Worn without layering, it can fit true to your usual size, though some reviewers found the fit generous and sized down for a closer fit. Reported sizing experiences vary, so an exchange may be needed to get the fit you want.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Speckled Heavy Cable-Knit Sweater Vest: Choose this if you want a loose, boxy sleeveless layer for fall — its plush, heavyweight stretch knit with 18% wool and a prominent speckled cable-knit front, crew neck, and ribbed trim at the neck, armholes, and hem is what reviewers call perfect for autumn office or casual layering over a button-down. Reviewers report its cable-knit texture and green colorway draw compliments and attention. Note that sizing runs true to size for some but generous for others, so a close fit without layering may mean sizing down or exchanging, and check size availability by color: X-Large is listed only in Burgundy and Mossy Green only up to Medium.[1,2] | Natural Knit Fringed Sweater Vest Exclusive Collection From Italy: Choose this if you want an exclusive-from-Italy knit vest with a raw-textured cotton and acrylic blend (80% cotton, 20% acrylic) and a decorative loose fringe trim running along the entire bottom hem. It is designed with a sleeveless, boxy, cropped silhouette that ends at or above the waist over bottoms, with a ribbed neckline and finished armhole edges, offered in small, medium, and large. It suits shoppers drawn to a warm brown/taupe yarn look and relaxed straight-cut layering, though those preferring a longer hemline may find the above-waist length limiting.[3,4,5,6] | Loose Fluffy V-Neck Sweater Vest: Choose this if you want a loose, boxy sleeveless layer with a soft, fluffy knit and a V-neck finished in ribbed trim at the neck, armholes, and hem. It comes in four colors (Black, Light Grey, Chocolate/Espresso, and Slate Blue) across sizes X-Small to X-Large, and is part of Contemporaine by Simons, an exclusive designed in Canada. Note that despite the wool-blend description, wool makes up only 6% of the fabric, which is mostly 61% reprocessed polyester with nylon, acrylic, and spandex.[7,8,9,10] |

J’adore
J’adore
Confortable et doux
Parfait pour la saison automnale!
Je recommande
La couleur est belle! J’ai acheté le vert. La coupe tombe bien. J'ai cependant pris une taille plus petite qu’habituellement (petite au lieu de médium) et c’est correct avec une chemise en-dessous. J’ai suivi la charte des grandeurs.
Parfait
Toutes mes amies aimeraient en avoir un!
Juste parfait
C’est exactement ce à quoi je m’attendais. La grandeur est conforme à ce que je porte habituellement.
Grandeur ?????
Je dois venir en magasin, jeudi, pour vérifier si le petit me convient mieux. Echange seulement.
