Waistcoats for simple everyday style
A waistcoat is an easy way to give your outfit structure without feeling too dressed up. In this collection you will find clean, simple cuts in black, navy, sand, camel, cream and deep earthy tones. The look is calm and modern, so you can use the same vest for many outfits during the week.
Short, simple styles sit well over classic shirts, while longer waistcoats create a straight, clear line on the body. On busy mornings you can throw on a waistcoat over one of our blouses and shirts to style under waistcoats and be ready without needing a blazer.
The collection ranges from soft knitted vests to lightly padded styles, so you can choose exactly the level of warmth you need. A knitted vest adds a bit of comfort at the office, while a quilted vest works on its own on milder days.
From office to evening with small changes
Waistcoats are ideal when you want to make a casual outfit a little sharper. Over a simple top and straight trousers, a long vest adds shape and a clear vertical line. Combine it with our classic pants to complete your outfit for a clean, simple look that works for both meetings and dinner.
On days when you prefer softer layers, you can choose a thin waistcoat over light knitwear essentials for layering. This gives a bit more definition without adding bulk, and you can keep the colours tone on tone for a calm Scandinavian expression. Swap sneakers for boots or loafers, and the same vest feels ready for an evening out.
You can also use the waistcoat as the piece that pulls prints and solid styles together. Keep the vest in a neutral shade and let it fall quietly over patterned tops or textured trousers.
Light warmth between seasons
Padded and quilted waistcoats are useful when the weather changes. They provide just enough warmth over a light knit or a long sleeved T shirt and are easy to take on and off during the day. Wear a long quilted vest over a shirt and jeans for a walk, or open over one of our dresses that pair perfectly with vests for a relaxed city look.
On colder days, a slim padded vest under your coat can give extra insulation without changing the shape of your outerwear. When the temperature rises again, you can swap the coat for a lighter jacket from our outerwear for every season and keep the waistcoat as your top layer.
Because most styles come in calm, muted colours, they blend easily with what you already own, whether your wardrobe is more classic or casual.
Build a flexible wardrobe around the waistcoat
If you see the waistcoat as a linking piece in your wardrobe, getting dressed becomes simpler. It connects tops and bottoms, light and warm styles, indoors and outdoors. On workdays, you can wear a simple vest with a crisp shirt and straight trousers. On days off, you can choose a soft knitted vest over a T shirt and relaxed jeans. When you want even more softness, you can add one of our soft cardigans for layered looks under or over a thin waistcoat for flexible warmth.
These styles are made to be worn often, not only for special occasions. Neutral colours, simple quilting and clean cuts mean you can repeat the same combinations again and again. With a few waistcoats, some shirts, a couple of pairs of trousers and key knitwear, you can cover most situations, from working at home to dinner out, without spending long in front of the wardrobe.
