Who invented sweater vests




















And everyone will look sharper this fall because of it. As a big boob-ed woman, I looove sweater vests, because they let me wear button down shirts without having to worry about the perpetual problem of gapping in the front. The A. Time Killers.

Even though people thought it was a fashion faux pax, the sweater vest was actually designed keeping functionality in mind. It was made for people indulging in sports like rowing, in order to encourage sweating and weight loss.

Later, in the s, it was said that football players in Michigan abandoned the sleeves of their uniforms for a more breathable alternative and ever since then, football coaches were seen sporting the silhouette. The trend had become a hit in the s in menswear after President Woodrow Wilson wore it in the s and President Herbert Hoover in the s. Thereafter, the design continued in the coming years and was available in various colours and patterns.

Brown, medium tan, blue, powder blue, yellow, red, green, rust, white, and maroon created more variety of colors than previous decades. With suiting being dull through most of the early 40s, these bright colors helped wardrobes not become too depressing. Occasionally, patterns were added to sweater vests. Nordic ski designs as well as argyle were frequently in demand in winter. This is the decade where argyle became associated with golf attire.

Sears called them Sleeveless Pullovers, while button-down styles were called Sweater Vests. Button down cardigan types could be yarn knit, but most were made of flat knit cloth. The stiffer fabric retained the waistcoat shape and suit vest look. They can be difficult to find in good shape and larger sizes. New classic sweaters or modern sweater vests can work for an overall vintage look. This website is supported by advertising in the form of product links, banners, and sponsored articles.

They tie together the look, smooth out the silhouette and polish the angles. I contend that they are an excellent male accessory that, much like a hat, or more like glasses, also make any man look not just more considered, but generally smarter in the collegiate sense. I got a few responses. Heat up that torso and keep the extremities cold? But in truth, lots of very attractive and well-dressed men have been quietly wearing sweater vests far away from the nerd crosshairs.

The sweater vest-averse man in the middle has anxiety that is valid but misplaced.
