Cleosofia Short Vest

A short waistcoat from Vero Moda in Chocolate Torte, a warm dark brown. The short cut adds a layer and marks your waist without covering what you wear underneath. It's a simple polyester piece that gives dresses, shirts and knits you already own a different shape.

If your outfits feel a bit flat, a waistcoat changes the proportions without a new wardrobe. The short length lets you play with layers and textures, and the brown shade adds depth next to lighter pieces.

How to wear it

• Over a long-sleeved dress to define the waist
• On top of a roll-neck for a cosy but tidy look
• With tailored trousers and a white shirt for the office
• With your favourite jeans and a plain t-shirt at the weekend
