vests are designed in new zealand and work across a range of body shapes, with the key being how they are styled and layered. a more fitted vest can create structure through the torso, while relaxed or slightly oversized styles offer ease and movement.

layering over a shirt or tee allows you to adjust proportion and balance, making vests a flexible option that can be adapted to suit your personal style rather than a specific body type.

a vest should sit comfortably over your base layers without feeling restrictive. it should allow enough room to layer over shirts or lightweight knits, while still maintaining a clean, structured shape.

the length also plays a role, slightly cropped styles can create contrast when worn with higher-waisted pants or skirts, while longer silhouettes offer a more streamlined look when layered under coats or jackets.

vests continue to be a relevant part of modern wardrobes, particularly for transitional dressing. their ability to layer easily without adding bulk makes them a practical choice as seasons shift.

whether worn as a lightweight layer in milder weather or styled under outerwear in cooler months, vests remain a versatile piece that works across both casual and more refined looks.

everyday vests tend to focus on simplicity and versatility. softer knit styles are easy to layer and wear regularly, while more structured options can be styled for a slightly more polished look.

choosing neutral tones or classic colours like black or brown makes it easier to pair your vest with pieces you already own, from tailored separates to more relaxed essentials.

layering with a vest works best when the pieces underneath are lightweight. starting with a tee, shirt, or fine knit helps keep the overall look streamlined, allowing the vest to add warmth and texture without excess bulk.

for cooler days, a vest can also sit comfortably under a coat or jacket, creating an extra layer of insulation while keeping your outfit balanced and easy to wear.

to build out a layered wardrobe, explore pieces within our knitwear collection alongside everyday staples from our tops range, including tees and shirts.

you can also browse our outerwear collections, including jackets and coats, to find pieces that work seamlessly over your vest. for outfit inspiration, our most loved edit highlights styles that are already being worn and repeated across seasons.
