What do you think of sweater vests? Should I wear a tie?

I have mixed feelings about them.

Let me be entirely blunt- you can build a wonderful wardrobe and be incredibly fashionable without sweater vests. Sweater vests are baggy, ugly, old-man-ish, and really not necessary in any sense. They can be done correctly, but finding one done correctly (well cut, of a nice knit, that sort of thing) is nearly impossible nowadays. It’s just plain not easy, and it’s too dangerous. Even if you do find one that is made well, you still run the risk of looking too old.

That being said, it can be done. If you find one that is fit incredibly well, feel free to wear one- just be careful. Always always wear a button down shirt and a tie- do not go without, it will look horrible.
