Rick Santorum has had quite the rise to the top (or high middle) over the last couple weeks in the polls. Today marks the day of the Iowa primary, which could potentially give Santorum his chance to be at the top of the GOP Race. If you've been following this GOP entertainment, you may have noticed that Santorum has at least one thing that stays consistent; and that one thing is the sweater vest. Sweater vests have been the corporate, default choice for going casual in a formal environment. Directors, professors, and uncles alike understand the versatility of the sweater vest, but it deosn't always translate to a more fashion-oriented atmosphere. The sweater vest doesn't make a bold statement, nor does it cause anyone to admire your sense of fashion; but there are cases where a nice sweater vest makes for a great layering piece to a suit or underneath a blazer. This season, however, has been the season for performance vests; vests that are meant for cold weather, but this year trends high in the stylish polls. You may see them named as puffers, gilets, or waistcoats. There are slight differences, but to the standard eye, each can be styled to the same level of perfection. Here are some top choices for your vest ballot:
Joe Fresh Puff Vest $35, http://www.joefresh.com/
This simple puff vest from Joe Fresh will keep you warm, not break the bank, and will be the perfect color blocker for your trendy needs!
By going with a darker wool, this waist coat, though too think to layer under a jacket, can be pairs with a shirt and bowtie to dress up a casual occasion.
Suit Vincet Gilet $218.16, http://www.asos.com/
Danish brand Suit, is available on ASOS and has this very unique gilet with a slim collar, which takes away the bulky shape that vests of this style sometimes reflect.
Penfield is known for their vests, and are usually easy to identify. This limited edition vest, featuring the scottish wool from Jameison's, is the perfect stand-alone vest to make your stylish statement. Fair isles print is totally on trend this season, and you are guaranteed to be warm with the Penfield name on your tag.
