Drawstring vest is a layering piece that can be styled in multiple ways. Designed with a cropped silhouette, it features open sides with adjustable drawstring toggles, a zip-front closure, and welt pockets. The elastic drawstring runs across the entire back panel and extends partially into the front, allowing you to adjust the waist for a more fitted or relaxed look. Customize your collared vest with the optional zip placket, or choose the hooded version for added versatility.
Available in sizes S, L, and 3XL. The hoodless version is also available in a kid’s size – MINI.
Styling Inspiration

The model is 170 cm tall and wears size S.
