How To Wear A Sweater Vest - Style Guide For Men - Mens Sweaters - Fashion Tips
About this video
Centeno teaches how to wear sweater vests as part of a classic men’s wardrobe, covering proper fit, styling approaches, and buttoning rules. He demonstrates monochromatic and contrast looks using layered pieces and accessories to create intentional visual emphasis.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that sweater vest fit is critical—less expensive vests fit loose while higher-end Italian options are more contoured, and proper fit requires trying on multiple styles and brands
- Centeno recommends coordinating all layered pieces (jacket, vest, shirt) to fit well together, as proper tailoring of each component affects the overall look
- Centeno teaches that monochromatic styling (single color and shades) creates a slimming, masculine effect, while contrast looks require muting other accessories to avoid competing focal points
- Centeno explains sweater vest buttoning follows suit jacket rules: the top button is optional, but always leave the bottom button unbuttoned
