Calverth - Knitted Vest and Midi Skirt Set
Calverth - Knitted Vest and Midi Skirt Set
A knitted set pairing a sleeveless V-neck vest with a ribbed midi skirt.
A knitted skirt is the piece people are most nervous about and then wear the most. The vest exists to solve the other half of the problem: what goes on top of it.
Why this knitted set?
- Sleeveless vest: with no sleeves the vest goes over a shirt or a fine roll neck, which changes the outfit without changing the set.
- Ribbed skirt: the rib runs vertically down the skirt, which draws the eye lengthways rather than across.
- Elasticated skirt waist: the waistband is knitted with elastic inside so it sits flat under the vest hem.
- Midi length: the skirt finishes mid-calf, leaving the ankle and the boot visible.
- Two ways to wear: the vest can be worn tucked into the skirt or left loose over the waistband.
Ideal for:
Women who have moved most of their wardrobe to knitwear for the winter and want a skirt that belongs in it. It layers over a shirt for work and over nothing much for a Saturday.
Does the knitted skirt cling?
It follows the hip and then falls straight. A seamless base layer underneath keeps the line smooth if you prefer.
Is the skirt lined?
No, but the knit is worked densely enough to be opaque in all four colours.
Can the vest be worn with jeans?
Yes, and most people do. It is cut short enough at the hip to sit above a waistband.
