Styling Guidance

The exaggerated shoulders and longline cut make this a strong layering piece, so wear it over a simple shirt or fine knit and let the structure of the vest lead the outfit. It pairs naturally with the matching tailored shorts or trousers in the same chocolate brown tone, or with denim for a more casual contrast. Cream, white, or black underlayers keep the look clean, and ankle boots or loafers work well to finish it without competing with the sharp shoulder line.
