A low-gauge V-neck knit vest that embodies JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE's philosophy of respecting freedom of movement without constricting the body.
The loosely knitted texture creates a rich expression, while the relaxed fit adds a laid-back mood.
Strong ribbing at the neckline, armholes, and hem enhances the overall silhouette and prevents deformation.
The deep side slits are a calculated detail that showcase the inner layer while ensuring ease of movement.
Simply layering it over a shirt adds an accent to a simple outfit.
