How to Style It
Why It Works
A structured peplum hem and button-front closure give this knit vest the polish of a tailored layer without the weight of a jacket.
- The three-button front closure and V-neckline create a defined, finished silhouette that reads more intentional than a standard knit top
- The sleeveless cut makes it a practical layering piece over blouses or collared shirts in temperature-controlled offices
- The peplum hem hits at the high hip, adding shape without excess volume, making it compatible with both tailored trousers and straight-leg pants
Use Cases
- Client-facing office meeting
- Professional networking lunch
- Conference day layering piece
- Smart-casual Friday at the office
- Evening work event over tailored trousers
Compatibility
- Pairs With: Straight-leg trousers, Tailored slim pants, Pointed-toe heeled pump, Structured tote or handbag
- Outfit Contexts: Client presentation, Office lunch meeting, Professional networking event
Fit Logic
- Silhouette: A fitted through the bodice with a structured peplum hem that flares evenly from the natural waist, hitting at the high hip. Sleeveless with a V-neckline that opens cleanly without plunging.
- Best For: Works well on straight and hourglass silhouettes; the peplum adds definition at the waist for straighter frames. Best layered over a slim or fitted base to avoid bulk through the torso.
- Styling Tip: Layer over a crisp white button-down with the collar visible above the V-neckline for a structured, layered look that works without a blazer.
Care Notes
- Fabric: 69% Viscose, 31% Polyester
- Washing: Hand wash cold
- Drying: Lay flat to dry to preserve the peplum structure and knit shape
- Ironing: Steam on low if needed; avoid direct high heat on viscose
- Special Notes: Do not wring or twist; viscose blends can distort when wet
Country of Origin

Can this vest be worn on its own, or does it need to be layered?
It works both ways. The button-front closure and structured peplum give it enough visual weight to wear alone as a top, but it also layers cleanly over a fitted blouse or collared shirt.
Does the peplum add a lot of volume at the hip?
No. The peplum is structured rather than gathered, so it flares smoothly at the high hip without adding significant bulk. It creates shape and definition rather than volume.
What fabric is this made from, and does it wrinkle easily?
It is made from a 69% viscose, 31% polyester blend. The polyester content helps the fabric resist wrinkling better than pure viscose, making it a practical option for full workdays. Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry to maintain the shape.
