FAQs

What material is the vest made of?

The vest is made from a high-quality viscose blend ribbed knit fabric.

Is this vest suitable for very cold weather?

The vest provides warmth due to its knit fabric and high neckline, making it excellent for layering. For extremely cold conditions, it is best worn as a layer under a heavier coat or jacket.

How should I wash the vest?

It is recommended to hand wash in cold water or use a gentle cycle on your washing machine with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying; lay flat to air dry.

What occasions is this vest best suited for?

The vest is highly versatile and can be styled for both casual and formal occasions, including office wear, evening events, or everyday outings.

Does the vest run true to size?

The vest has a slim, figure-hugging fit. If you prefer a looser feel, consider sizing up.

Can I machine dry the vest?

No, it is not recommended to machine dry the vest as this can cause shrinkage and damage the knit fabric. Always lay flat to air dry.

What other colors and sizes are available?

This vest is available in various colors including Beige, Cream, and Navy, and in sizes ranging from XS to L. Please check the product details for specific availability.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels too tight.

Consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit, or ensure you are using the recommended washing and drying methods to avoid shrinkage.

Fabric feels itchy.

Ensure you are washing the garment according to care instructions. Sometimes a fabric softener (used sparingly and according to product directions) can help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Vest has lost its shape after washing.

Reshape the garment gently while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid machine drying or wringing, which can cause stretching.

Ribbing appears stretched out.

Store the vest folded instead of hanging. If the issue is minor, gentle reshaping while damp and proper drying may help.
