Styling your Vest

Timeless, versatile, comfortable

Style Guide: The Vest

The Crisp Collar

There is something timeless about a knitted vest layered over a crisp dress shirt.

A white shirt keeps the look fresh and classic, while a blue stripe adds a little personality. Let the collar, cuffs and even a little of the shirt hem peek through for an effortless, tailored look.

Style tip: Roll the shirt sleeves once or twice for a more relaxed finish.

Embrace Tones

If you've noticed cream-on-cream outfits everywhere lately, you're not imagining it.

Tonal dressing creates an elegant, expensive-looking outfit by layering different shades of the same colour. Our Natural Vest pairs beautifully with winter white denim, oat knitwear, stone trousers or a soft beige skirt.

Complete the look with gold jewellery, a camel wool coat, tan leather loafers or boots.

Your Weekend Uniform

Some outfits don't require overthinking.

Our Navy Vest layered over a lightweight merino tee, paired with your favourite jeans and ankle boots, creates an easy outfit you'll wear again and again.

Ideal for saturday markets, coffee dates, weekend road trips, or watching the kids' sport. Comfortable enough for all day, polished enough for almost anywhere.

Layer Under Jackets

Bulky winter layers often mean sacrificing comfort for warmth.

Because our vest is beautifully knitted without unnecessary bulk, it slips comfortably under blazers, wool coats, trench coats.
You stay warm without feeling restricted, and when the afternoon warms up, simply remove your outer layer while keeping your outfit looking complete.

Natural fibres also help regulate your body temperature, making it a layer you'll appreciate throughout the day.

Wear It On It's Own

Your vest doesn't have to be packed away when winter ends.

As spring arrives, wear it as a standalone top with linen trousers, wide-leg jeans, tailored shorts, or flowing skirts.

Merino naturally breathes and helps regulate body temperature, while hemp adds durability and structure, making it a piece you'll comfortably wear across multiple seasons.

It's one of those rare knitwear pieces that works just as well in August as it does in December.

Dress It Up

A knitted vest isn't just for casual days.

Pair it with tailored trousers, a satin skirt or wide-leg pants and finish with simple jewellery for an understated evening look.

The clean lines make it easy to dress up without trying too hard.

Sometimes the simplest outfits make the biggest statement.

This pairing is one for him.
