Add style to your outfit with one of our knitted vests
Knitted vests are the ultimate transitional essential, a layering hero that slips effortlessly over everything from sleeveless tops, tank tops and crop tops to short sleeve tees, long sleeve tops and pullovers. Cosy up for cooler days with vests featuring a chunky knit and tie waist. Leave them loose for a relaxed look or cinch them in for a flattering, feminine fit that’ll take you anywhere.
Fashion-forward longline knitted vests
Longline cable knit vests are wardrobe icons, adding loads of visual and textural interest to your outfit. Wool blend and cashmere options are great for winter while our acrylic and cotton blend vests are ideal for all-year-round wear.
Mix and match with long or short sleeve tops
A vest can see you through every season with sophisticated style. See out the summer in a vest worn over singlets and t-shirts teamed with denim skirts and shorts. Say hello to cooler weather with a vest layered over cotton sweatshirts and knit sweaters with jeans and leggings.
Dressier than hoodies, a vest can take you from casual to smart casual with ease. In the winter, double up with coats, cardigans and other outerwear for even more warmth.
The perfect workwear addition
Vests give an elegant touch to your office outfits. Go for a dark colour knit that will look striking over a white collared shirt tucked into black pants for a professional finish. Give your outfit more structure by wearing your vest under a tailored blazer or choose a style with a tie waist that gives you a smart and feminine silhouette.
Style your vest with a turtleneck or crew neck jumper
Vests go with any type of neckline, making them one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe. While a v-neck vest looks flattering over a v-neck sweater, you can also layer them over high neck jumpers like a turtleneck for a trendy look. Vests also team perfectly with crew neck, round neck and boat neck tops.
Black is definitely back!
Black is back in but did it ever really go away? As a classic neutral, black wardrobe pieces are truly timeless and endlessly wearable. Easily mix and match your black vests with everything in the wardrobe to take you from day to night, casual to formal.
Finding the right size for you
With a chunky knit, our vests look fabulous on any woman and come in a wide range of inclusive sizes, from XXS to plus sizes, including XXL and 3XL. Use the tie to cinch in the waist for a slim fit or leave it open for a fuss-free, off-duty look. Here’s how to find your perfect fit:

Can I wear a knitted vest for smart casual?
Absolutely! A vest can instantly elevate your casual ensemble to smart casual and send you off in style to the office, brunch, dinner dates and more. Try wearing them over a plain collared shirt with dark pants for work or have fun with plain vests, skirts and print shirts on weekends with the sleeves rolled up for a playful look. Go for a neutral colour that’s sophisticated, like black or cream. A vest with a tie belt will give you a feminine silhouette that’s chic and ultra-flattering.
What is the average length of a women’s knitted vest?
Vests come in all different lengths. Cropped styles hit above the waist, standard vests sit between the waist and hips and longline vests can extend beyond the hips and even reach the thighs. Our knit staples are available in various lengths, including a longline style with a tie waist for maximum cosiness, warmth and modern appeal.
