Sweater Vests for Summer Simplicity

Yes, even the warmer months are perfect for sweater vests. Styles like our Astra Knit are made from a lightweight cotton-blend that keeps things cool and breathable even under the sun. Wear it solo with tailored shorts or a linen skirt for a breezy, minimal look and add a pair of statement sunnies before you head out the door.

Pro tip: Tuck the vest into high-rise shorts or trousers to elongate the legs – especially flattering for petite frames.

Autumn Layering

Sweater vests and layering go hand in hand. For a transitional look, pop the Astra over a slim-fit tee like our Chelsea or Austen Tee. The key here? Keep your base layers sleek to avoid bulk and maintain a flattering silhouette. Think flared-leg denim and leather boots for that effortlessly cool finish. And to tie it all together, layer over a statement jacket like our Luther Suede Jacket in camel.

Want to play with proportions? Belt the vest over a floaty midi dress and instantly turn it into a skirt-and-knit combo with shape and structure.

How to Style Sweater Vests for Winter Warmth

The Astra Knit really shines as part of a cold-weather wardrobe. Layer it over a long-sleeved shirt or under a structured blazer for warmth and dimension. But for extra coziness, don’t be afraid to double up your knits – try it with a soft cardigan or coat for that snug, Scandi-inspired vibe.

Whether you’re heading to the office or out for mulled wine, this vest adds polish and comfort in equal measure.

Spring Style

When the chill lingers but the sun starts peeking through, reach for the Astra once again. Its creamy tone pairs beautifully with florals, denims, and stripes. Keep it warm over a T-shirt and tuck it into a pair of barrel-leg jeans for a smart-casual take.

And when in doubt? Just add a trench coat and your favourite trainers. Easy, fresh, and forever flattering.
