【Design】
This waistcoat (vest) features a deep lustrous velvet fabric embellished with dressy embroidery, exuding an elegant vibe. The sharply cut V-neck and minimal front buttons create a refined impression, expressing an ennui mood that strongly reflects Ann Demeulemeester’s world.
The back is adorned with a grosgrain strap with a buckle―an iconic detail in the brand’s design―which is not just decorative but also functional, allowing you to adjust the fit freely. You can alter the silhouette by tightening or loosening the strap.

【Silhouette & Fit】
The length is set slightly short, and the width provides moderate room to construct a silhouette that is classic yet modern in balance. The back strap lets you adjust the fit to suit the thickness of your inner layers, ensuring optimal sizing.

【Material Texture & Wearability】
The fabric is a luxurious velvet that balances beautiful sheen with a smooth touch. Its deep gloss changes appearance depending on the viewing angle, adding depth and elegance to your look. Despite its rich appearance, the relatively thin fabric offers a lightweight feel, ensuring it fits neatly without bulk when layered. It also features durability suitable for everyday wear.
