Compared within this brand.
| Solid-Coloured 100% Merino Wool Sweater Vest: Choose this if you want a sleeveless V-neck layer in 100% responsible merino wool, with a relaxed, boxy fit, ribbed hem and armhole trim, and four brown buttons down the front. It's a Contemporaine by Simons exclusive designed in Canada, offered in Sand (X-SMALL to X-LARGE) and Navy/Midnight Blue (which skips SMALL and X-LARGE). Note the wool is described by the brand as luxurious, and the vest is solid-coloured rather than patterned.[1,2] | Heathered Knit V-Neck Sweater Vest: Choose this if you want a lightweight, stretch heathered knit layering vest for spring transitional days or business casual and semi-formal outfits, since its V-neck works with collared shirts and it pairs easily with jeans or dress pants. It has a boxy sleeveless fit with ribbed V-neck, armhole, and hem edging in a speckled pale pink-cream acrylic and reprocessed cotton blend. Note that reviewers report the armholes may run large, which can cause gaps when layered over thin pieces.[3,4,5] | Natural Knit Fringed Sweater Vest Exclusive Collection From Italy: Choose this if you want an imported-from-Italy, sleeveless knit vest in a cotton and acrylic blend (80% cotton, 20% acrylic) with a raw-textured knit and short fringe along the edging. Its boxy, cropped silhouette ends at or above the waist with a straight fringed hem, so it suits shoppers layering over shirts or dresses who like a relaxed, textured look. It comes in small, medium, and large sizes.[6,7,8] |
