As we went into lockdown in March and had a great deal more time to spend on the internet, I began to binge 'High Fidelity', the Hulu hit show (RIP season two) starring Zoe Kravitz where her character, Rob, wears a lot of sweater vests. Rob wears them like an extremely hot girl does, instead of the way your uncle Geoff does, and so the sweater vest concept took seed in my brain, and decided to take residence for the months to come. Over said months, I discovered I was not alone in my fervour for sweater vests, and as recent runways would have it, the rest of the world was catching on fast. It is now almost summer in Australia and our window to indulge in the emerging trend has almost closed. With this in mind, I bring you: our favourite sweater vests to buy before it's too late.
