A knitted vest is the most useful layer an autumn wardrobe can hold. Also called a knitted tank, it is simply a sleeveless jumper: warmth across the body without the bulk of full sleeves, and easy to keep on indoors. Ours are cut with a relaxed, boxy fit in wool, cashmere blend and cotton yarns.The easiest way to wear one is over a crisp shirt with the collar and cuffs left showing. With jeans it reads as weekend, and over a fine long sleeve top with tailored trousers it reads as work. A boxy ve...

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a knitted vest?

A knitted vest is a sleeveless jumper. It is worn over a shirt or a fine long sleeve top for warmth without bulk, or on its own with tailored trousers. Tank is the other word for the same garment, and we use both.

What do you wear under a knitted vest?

A collared shirt is the easiest option, with the collar and cuffs left showing. A fine long sleeve top works just as well if you prefer a cleaner line, and a T Shirt underneath keeps it casual.

How do you style a knitted vest?

Over a crisp shirt with tailored trousers for work, or over a long sleeve top with jeans at the weekend. A boxy vest sits neatly over a slim shirt and balances a wider leg, so it is worth thinking about proportion rather than just colour.

Are knitted vests warm enough for winter?

On their own they suit autumn and spring. Layered over a shirt or a fine knit they work right through winter, and because the arms are open they are easy to keep on indoors without overheating.

What is the difference between a knitted vest and a knitted tank?

Nothing. They are the same garment. Vest is the more common word in the UK and tank is used more widely elsewhere, and both describe a sleeveless knitted top.

How should I wash a wool or cashmere blend vest?

Wash at 30 degrees, do not tumble dry, and cool iron on reverse. Fold rather than hang, so the shape holds.
