Yes, Sweater Vests Can Be Cool

Sebastian Kim

Every day of every month at GQ, we start your morning on Instagram with visual advice on What to Wear Today. But we want to go deeper. Give you the nuts and bolts of how to get the look into your wardrobe. Today we're walking you through how to look as good as Chris Hemsworth in head-to-toe denim.

Double denim is always a good look but, since so many dudes do it well and often, it isn't always your best move. Being one of four guys in the bar on Saturday night wearing the rugged uniform kind of takes the fun out of the whole thing. Here's an idea for how to one up everyone, without just starting from scratch: add a '70s-era sweater vest. We know, we know, it's an article of clothing you maybe never thought you'd have a need for. But take a good, hard look at Chris Hemsworth in the pages of GQ, above, and you'll see why we're advocating for it. Manly and humble, with just the right amount of swagger, the combo calls to mind guys like Robert Redford and Richard Roundtree—'70s icons with style that went well beyond the Canadian tuxedo. Follow in their footsteps and we promise, no one will confuse you with that other guy in the chambray shirt, standing in line for a drink.

Here, a few buys to get your wheels turning. If a $520 Gucci knit isn't quite what you're looking for, try a vintage store—the kind that really knows how to buy these things.
