Questions about this piece
How do you wear a knit vest without looking bulky?
Keep whatever goes underneath thin and close to the arm. A vest adds a layer through the torso and nothing at all on the arms, so a chunky sleeve next to a chunky body makes you look wider than either piece does on its own. A fitted long-sleeve tee, a short sleeve or bare arms all let the vest read as the shape. Length is the other lever: a cropped vest over a longer top shows a band of the layer beneath and keeps the eye moving down.
Is a crochet knit vest see-through?
Somewhat, by design. Crochet is built from loops with deliberate gaps between them, so light passes through in a way it does not through a solid knit, and how much shows depends entirely on what you put behind it. Over a tank or a tee it reads as texture. Worn on bare skin it reads as open work, which some people want and some do not. Hold it up to a window before deciding, since the gaps look bigger against a bright background than they will against a shirt.
What are the buttons on this vest made of?
Natural coconut wood. On a crochet-knit front that is a practical choice as much as a look, because wood is light, so the placket does not sag and gape at the chest the way it can under heavier metal buttons, and a smooth wood edge passes through a loop-knit buttonhole instead of catching in it. Being a natural material, the tone varies a little from button to button. Alongside them run a solid contrast trim and a peaked hem, in Black or Taupe, sizes Small through Large.
