Nope, this is not a drill. Dad vests are officially in for autumn.
A cosy knit is an absolute must for when it gets chilly and this year we're opting for the type of woolly vest you might expect to see on your old lad rather than your favourite fashion blogger.
As unexpected as the trend might be, we bet your knit vest is a piece you'll find yourself reaching for again and again over the coming months.
Here's exactly how to style it so you don't look like Carlton from
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
One word: oversized
A snug fit will make you look like a rich older lady - not the vibe we're going for. Be sure to go a good few sizes up or look in the men's section.
Layer it over anything
From a t-shirt or long sleeve polo neck to a crisp white shirt.
Or wear with nothing underneath
Pair it with jeans
Your dad vest will look great with denim.
Or with straight-leg trousers
If you're worried about looking bulky, skinny trousers will work too.
There's nothing to stop you from wearing it with a dress or skirt
Legs out for the win.
Don't just stick to earthy tones
Keep this look fun with bright colours too.
Accessorise sparsely
Let the knit be the focus.
