It’s difficult to encapsulate the style of an entire era while you’re still in that era, but if we were to make an educated guess, we’d say the 2010’s will be defined by ‘ugly’ fashion. Bike shorts, child-like collars, clogs, kitten heels and corsets\u2014our times are inspired by a ‘so bad it’s good’ approach to style, embraced by the Kardashians and Man Repeller’s Leandra Medine alike. The latest trend to add to the ever-growing list? The chunky ‘granpa vest’.<\/p>\n

Street style pundits at Paris Fashion Week were lapping up the vest, opting for vintage-inspired styles that were layered over crisp men’s tailored shirts. They also popped up infrequently on the runway, with nods from Louis Vuitton, Etro and AMI (last season vests appeared at Givenchy and Herm\u00e8s). In late September, Bella Hadid pulled off the same look<\/a> for a night out in New York; last week, French It-girl Camille Charriere shared a selfie<\/a> in a chunky green vest by Prada and Alexa Chung<\/a> has been championing the look for months.<\/p>\n

So why the grandpa vest, why now? One theory is that as shoppers have become more cognitive of the environmental impact of their clothes a new generation has began to embrace second-hand style, making the ‘pulled from the thrift shop’ look cool again. Fashion editor Bay Garnett’s recent Oxfam pop-up at Selfridge’s in London showcased the growing link between thrift-store finds and high fashion. The sudden ubiquity of chunky wool vests is perhaps evidence that the pairing can work quite nicely.<\/p>\n

Another theory\u2014one I’m convinced is more likely\u2014is that Harry Styles is to thank (or blame) for all this. When he stepped out in a wool Lanvin vest last November, in a clear homage to Princess Diana, the world collectively lost their minds. The vest\u2014now a staple of Styles’ both on and off the red carpet\u2014has come to symbolize the kind of geek-chic aesthetic that defines his particular brand of soft-boy masculinity. Much like Harry Styles himself, everyone wants a piece.<\/p>\n

Looking to pull off this look for yourself? Don’t be intimidated. For those in warmer climates, a sleeveless knit is actually a genius between-season investment\u2014best worn with low-slung trousers or a good straight-legged jean. Alternatively, you can channel your inner Molly Goddard, layering a chunky Fair Isle vest over a bold, voluminous dress. Whether you prefer masculine<\/a>, Scandi<\/a> or totally OTT<\/a>\u2014it doesn’t matter, the internet is bursting at the seams with good options. If ever in doubt, always revert to Harry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26240,"featured_media":3755,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[17,16],"yoast_head":"\nThe Unlikely Return Of The Granddad Vest<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"At the spring summer '21 shows, street style attendees gravitated towards a new fashion trend: The granddad vest.
