One of fall's top fashion trends is a blast from the past, and one you might remember: sweater vests.

Commonly worn during the '90s and early 2000s eras of preppy fashion, the now grandpa style-inspired toppers are officially in for the season once again.

This cozy trend was spotted all over fall/winter designer runways at shows such as Etro, Gucci, Prada and more and are also all over social media.

TikTok user Liv Judd demonstrated how to wear the look in a short video where she is seen styling a V-neck style sweater vest, gold necklaces, slim-cut khaki pants, black tie-up booties and a beige overcoat.
