To sweater vest or not to sweater vest?

I passed a very dapper looking gentleman in the skyway wearing an argyle sweater vest. Which raises the question- Are sweater vests cool? This winter I have seen very few men able to pull off this formerly nerdy look with ease. I would even go as far as saying that they looked cool. Mr. Skyway paired his vest with a crisp striped button down and navy trouser. Although the vest caught my attention, it was the converse sneaks hidden at the bottom of his otherwise preppy outfit that made me smile. Well done!
