WOMEN'S VESTS
Women’s waistcoats – an essential item in every woman’s wardrobe
Women’s waistcoats are one of those wardrobe staples that suit almost any occasion and any season. The style, which originated in men’s fashion, has taken on a unique lightness and elegance in its women’s version – today it is as fashionable as it is timeless. Hexeline waistcoats are made from natural fabrics that ensure comfort and retain their quality for many seasons. The ecru linen fitted waistcoat is an example of a simple cut that works just as well in casual outfits with jeans as it does with an elegant skirt for a work meeting. The grey linen waistcoat is a neutral base for any outfit; whether worn buttoned up or loosely unbuttoned, it adapts to a variety of needs. The entire Hexeline waistcoat range offers a wide selection of styles and fabrics tailored to every woman’s individual needs.
Elegant and suit vests for women – Hexeline business chic
Elegant and suit vests for women are designed for those seeking a touch of finesse in their workwear and for formal occasions. A suit-style waistcoat can replace a jacket or form a complete ensemble with it – this is one of the trends that combines elegant tailoring with modern minimalism. A light blue linen waistcoat with a business-like feel, paired with tailored trousers and a shirt, creates a cohesive, professional look. For more formal occasions, a fango-coloured satin waistcoat or an elegant deep navy waistcoat is the perfect choice. For women who appreciate bolder designs, a fitted checked waistcoat beautifully accentuates the waist and fits perfectly with the retro style of the 1970s. Hexeline blazers and suits are the natural companions for these outfits.
Quilted and knitted women’s waistcoats – how to choose a style for cooler days?
For cooler days, knitted waistcoats are ideal for everyday smart-casual outfits, whilst quilted styles make for lightweight outerwear during the transitional season. When choosing a waistcoat, it’s worth considering a few key factors that will determine its functionality and style:
To choose the right quilted or knitted waistcoat for cooler days, you should consider:
- functionality and protection against the cold – quilted waistcoats provide extra protection against wind and cold, acting as lightweight outerwear; knitted styles offer warmth with a natural, jumper-like feel,
- cut and fit – knitted waistcoats usually hug the figure better and emphasise the waist, whilst quilted ones offer greater freedom of movement and a looser fit,
- material and care – knitted waistcoats made from wool or wool blends require gentle washing; quilted styles made from lighter fabrics are easier to look after on a day-to-day basis,
- purpose and occasion – knitted waistcoats are ideal for smart-casual and elegant outfits; quilted ones are a good choice for everyday outings in changeable weather.
Hexeline offers excellent knitted styles: a knitted waistcoat with contrasting trim, a black knitted waistcoat with a V-neck, and an ecru-coloured knitted waistcoat – each of which is perfect for both spring and autumn outfits.
Women’s sleeveless tops and quilted vests – casual styles
Women’s sleeveless tops and lighter-weight vests are ideal for women who appreciate layered looks without compromising on freedom of movement. In summer, a sleeveless vest thrown over a T-shirt or a fitted turtleneck creates a fashionable, urban look for everyday outings. A halter-neck vest with an open back is a striking choice for summer evenings – paired with wide-leg trousers or dresses, it looks incredibly elegant. A wraparound vest with a sheen is another option for women looking for a striking detail in their outfit. The version with a touch of linen in shades of beige is a casual linen style, perfect for pairing with leggings or wide-leg jeans. All these styles embody Hexeline’s smart casual philosophy.
Women’s knitted waistcoat – luxurious comfort in wool and cashmere
Hexeline’s women’s knitted waistcoat is designed for women who prioritise luxurious comfort and the highest quality materials. Merino wool regulates body temperature, providing warmth in winter and comfort on cooler spring days. Cashmere is synonymous with luxury in the world of fabrics – incredibly soft and warm despite its light weight, perfect for the coming season. The caramel-coloured wool and cashmere belted waistcoat and the cream-coloured wool and cashmere belted waistcoat are premium styles featuring a natural belt that accentuates the waist – ideal for pairing with a shirt or blouse. The striped merino wool waistcoat is a more casual option, designed to be worn with jeans or trousers. This look is complemented by Hexeline jumpers, crafted from the same luxurious fabrics.
Long women’s waistcoat – a style that ‘elongates’ and flatters the figure
A long women’s waistcoat visually ‘lengthens’ and ‘slims’ the figure, making it one of the most popular styles chosen by women wishing to emphasise balanced proportions. The longer cut covers the hips and upper thighs, which flatters every body type. Styles that reach mid-thigh or knee length pair perfectly with fitted trousers, leggings or slim-fit jeans – creating a cohesive, vertical line throughout the entire outfit. They can be worn either buttoned up or loosely unbuttoned over a turtleneck or shirt, offering plenty of scope for creating layered outfits tailored to your own needs. In the Hexeline collection, the long waistcoat appears seasonally as part of limited-edition ranges.
