Women's Brown Maple Leaf Jacquard Waistcoat

Maple leaf jacquard weave creates a raised, tactile pattern across the fabric - the motif has genuine depth rather than sitting flat like a print. Deep V-neckline and a tailored, sleeveless cut that sits close to the body without pulling - at approximately 60cm in length, it skims the hip with a clean finish. Button-through front fastening with tonal buttons that blend into the jacquard, keeping the pattern uninterrupted across the placket. The viscose-blend front panel gives the fabric a soft drape and a cool handfeel against the skin - it moves with the body rather than holding a rigid shape. Designed to coordinate as a set - the model wears it with a matching jacquard wide-leg trouser, making it equally strong as a co-ord or as a standalone piece. The waistcoat's tailored silhouette does the structural work here - fitted enough through the torso to feel intentional, but with enough drape that it never reads as stiff. The V-neckline draws the eye upward and elongates the neck, while the hem length sits at a point that works tucked into a high-waisted skirt or layered over wide-leg trousers for a complete occasion look. The jacquard pattern means no additional embellishment is needed - keep accessories refined and let the fabric speak. A pair of strappy heeled sandals and minimal gold jewellery, as the model demonstrates, is all it takes to carry this into a wedding, race day, or a formal evening event. For those who prefer a more editorial approach, the waistcoat worn open over a silk slip or a sleek column dress introduces an interesting layering dimension without competing with the pattern itself. | Karen Millen Maple Leaf Jacquard Waistcoat in Gold | Size 6 Colour: brown
