Philine Vest

A collarless waistcoat in black that adds structure over a shirt or tee, cut in a viscose-blend fabric with a light drape and a hint of stretch so it follows your movement. It sits somewhere between smart and casual, which makes it easy to pull on for the office or a night out.

The waistcoat gives you a clean, tailored layer without the weight or warmth of a full blazer. The touch of elastane means it moves with you rather than pulling across the shoulders.

How to wear it

• Office: over a shirt with tailored trousers
• Smart casual: over a tee with jeans
• Evening: over a dress or blouse with heels

Not for you if you want a warm outer layer for cold days; this is a styling piece, not a coat.
