knitwear vests that pull a whole look together

Pull Your Whole Look Together with this One Knit item

Posted by Caroline Teakle on

The knit vest has been bubbling away in the Maxted studio for a few years now. We’ve explored shape, style, yarn, and texture, refining, tweaking, and testing. And this year, we’ve truly nailed it with our new Crew Neck Brushed Knit Vest — a modern women’s knit vest designed for effortless layering, available in timeless Pale Oat.

This is the kind of vest that quietly elevates your wardrobe. It’s classic, considered, and designed to let the rest of your outfit breathe.

Let Your Sleeves Do the Talking

One of the best things about a knit vest? Your sleeves become the main event.

Printed, striped, textured, or soft and silky. Your shirt sleeves can finally make their statement. The vest frames them beautifully without adding bulk or competing for attention.

How To Style a Knit Vest

Light enough for warm days, warm enough for cool evenings, and endlessly layerable: it’s the piece you’ll reach for again and again. Wear it:

  • On its own with shorts
  • Over a crisp shirt
  • With baggy jeans
  • Under a blazer without any bunching in the arms

It’s practical, easy, and quietly stylish.

No bulk. No fuss. When paired with a longline coat or tailored blazer, a knit vest gives you that extra warmth and texture without the usual sleeve-related battle. It’s streamlined, refined, and effortless — exactly how layers should feel.

Elevate the Everyday

A simple sweater-and-jeans outfit instantly feels more intentional when this women’s knit vest is layered over it. It adds depth. It adds dimension. It adds texture. And with two classic colours: Pale Oat and Chocolate, it slides seamlessly into any wardrobe.

Wear it with your statement pieces or keep it pared back; the vest is here to help everything work together without overpowering your look.

It’s the knit vest you’ll rely on season after season.
