Striped Button Up V‑Neck Sweater Vest

How to measure

Measurements are easiest and most accurate when the garment is laid flat on a smooth surface. Use a soft measuring tape and record both inches and centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm).

Garment measurements (laid flat)

1. Chest / Bust: Measure straight across the vest 1" (2.5 cm) below the armhole from side seam to side seam. Double this number to get the full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure from left shoulder seam to right shoulder seam across the back.
3. Front length: From the highest point of the shoulder (near the neckline) down the center front to the hem.
4. Back length: From center back neckline to hem.
5. V‑neck depth: From the highest point of the shoulder at the neckline to the lowest point of the V.
6. Armhole depth: From the top of the shoulder seam down to the bottom of the armhole seam.
7. Hem width: Measure across the hem and double to get the hem circumference.
8. Button placket length: Measure from the top edge at the neckline to the bottom button or hem.

How to measure your body (for fit)

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest with tape parallel to the floor.
• Underbust: Measure around the ribcage directly under your bust (helpful for fitted knits).
• Waist: Measure around the narrowest point of your torso.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips.
• Height: Use your barefoot height for reference against model details.
• Fit tip: Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements. Allow 2–4 in (5–10 cm) of ease for layering, or 0–2 in (0–5 cm) for a closer fit.

Materials & fabric information

The Striped Button Up V‑Neck Sweater Vest is a mid‑weight knitted piece designed for structure with comfortable stretch. Exact fabric composition is shown on the product label and in the product details — below are common knit blends and what to expect from each.

• 100% Cotton — soft, breathable, natural feel; machine washable; may shrink slightly if not cared for properly.
• Cotton blends (e.g., cotton + acrylic) — retains softness with improved durability and shape retention; lower shrink risk.
• Acrylic / Polyester blends — lightweight, colorfast and easy‑care; may be more prone to pilling than natural fibers.
• Wool / Wool blends — warm and insulating; often require gentle washing or dry cleaning depending on the label.
• Viscose / Modal blends — smooth drape and soft hand; can be delicate when wet, so follow care instructions.
• Elastane / Spandex (small %) — added for stretch and recovery to keep the vest looking neat.

Note: For exact fiber percentages and any special finishes (anti‑pilling, washable wool, etc.), please refer to the product tag or product details on the page.

Model & fit reference

Use the model details below as a guide when judging fit. These are example reference measurements commonly shown on product pages:

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Wearing size: Small
• Model measurements: Bust 33" (84 cm) • Waist 24" (61 cm) • Hips 35" (89 cm)

If you prefer a roomy, layered look, select one size up. If you want a sleek, fitted silhouette, choose your usual size or size down when between sizes and wearing only thin layers.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

• Check the label first: Follow any manufacturer care symbols or instructions on the garment tag.
• Wash: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Turn the vest inside out and fasten the buttons to reduce friction. Use a mild detergent and wash with like colors.
• Dry: Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry on a towel or drying rack to avoid stretching. Avoid high heat in the dryer; if tumble drying is recommended on the label, use low heat.
• Iron / steam: Use low heat; iron inside out or use a steamer for best results. Avoid direct high heat on synthetic fibers.
• Pilling: Remove pills gently with a fabric comb or shaver. Washing inside out and avoiding high‑abrasion washing will reduce pilling.
• Storage: Fold knits rather than hanging to prevent shoulder stretching. Store in a cool, dry place; use cedar balls or lavender sachets to deter moths.
• Buttons & trims: Fasten buttons before washing and repair any loose buttons promptly to prevent loss.
• Spot cleaning: Blot stains immediately with cold water and mild detergent; avoid vigorous rubbing.
• Rotation: Rotate knits in your wardrobe and avoid overwashing — airing between wears helps extend life.

Style tips

• Preppy & polished: Layer over a crisp white button‑down, leave the collar out, pair with pleated skirt or tailored chinos and loafers.
• Office smart: Wear under a slim blazer with high‑waisted trousers and ankle boots for a tailored look.
• Casual weekend: Pop the vest over a long‑sleeve tee or striped top, pair with straight‑leg jeans and sneakers.
• Edgy contrast: Style over a black turtleneck and leather mini or faux‑leather trousers with combat boots for texture contrast.
• Summer transition: Wear alone over a tank or cami with denim shorts or a midi skirt and sandals.
• Proportions: Balance a boxy or oversized vest with slim or high‑waisted bottoms; tuck or half‑tuck the front into skirts or trousers to define the waist.
• Buttoning options: Button fully for a neat, cardigan‑like look; leave the top one or two buttons undone to accentuate the V‑neck and show an underlayer.
• Accessories: Delicate necklaces look great with the V‑neck; a slim belt over the vest can create a flattering silhouette; add a brooch for vintage charm.
• Color play: Pull one accent color from the stripes for shoes or a bag to create a cohesive outfit.
