Shoulder Pad Knitted Vest

Built-in shoulder pads give the vest a structured silhouette at the top while the hem falls loose - the result is a clean, broadened shoulder line without any stiffness. Crew neckline with a subtle contrast trim detail at the collar, adding a quiet point of interest without breaking the simplicity of the design. The viscose-nylon knit has a soft drape and cool handfeel - it skims rather than clings, sitting smoothly across the torso and falling away from the body at the hem. Sleeveless cut makes it an easy layering piece - wear it over a fitted long-sleeve top in cooler months or on its own when the temperature climbs. Fine knit construction means it holds its shape through the shoulder whilst remaining lightweight enough to tuck into high-waisted pieces without bulk. This vest earns its place as one of those pieces that works across the whole wardrobe rather than belonging to just one outfit. The structured shoulder does the heavy lifting, so it pairs naturally with tailored midi skirts and knee-high heeled boots for a polished daytime look - exactly as styled here. Tuck the front into wide-leg trousers and add a blazer for a smart lunch or gallery visit, and the shoulder detail reads as intentional rather than dressed up. For a more relaxed weekend feel, layer it over a fitted ribbed long-sleeve and wear it with straight-leg jeans and loafers. The cool, smooth handfeel of the knit means it never feels overdressed, just considered. A midi skirt in a contrasting fabric - suede, satin or structured cotton - brings out the best in the vest's clean lines, letting the shoulder shape speak for itself. | Wallis Shoulder Pad Knitted Vest In Mocha
