Perfect For
This waistcoat is a go-to piece for workdays, business casual settings, and polished daytime outings.

Styling Tips
Wear this vest buttoned up as a standalone top with high-waisted trousers or wide-leg pants for a sharp, coordinated look. Leave the bottom button undone for a relaxed, editorial feel. For a more casual take, layer it open over a fitted crew-neck tee with straight-leg jeans and loafers. The pinstripe pattern pairs naturally with solid-color bottoms in navy, white, or camel tones.
Materials & Care
Crafted from a 90% cotton, 10% linen blend, this vest has a structured, woven hand with a smooth surface and visible pinstripe texture. The cotton-linen composition keeps it breathable and comfortable for warm-weather wear. Machine wash according to the care label; lay flat or hang to dry to preserve the tailored shape and button closure.

The Marilyn Waistcoat delivers a polished, tailored look in a silhouette that flatters a range of body types. The full front button closure lets you customize the fit and styling, while the classic navy pinstripe keeps it endlessly wearable. Welt pockets add a functional, refined detail, and the cropped hip-length cut works with both high-waisted and mid-rise bottoms for real day-to-day flexibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Marilyn Waistcoat true to size?
This vest is cut in a fitted, tailored silhouette. If you are between sizes or prefer a slightly more relaxed fit, sizing up is recommended. It is available in Small, Medium, and Large. Michele is normally a medium and sized up to the large for extra room.
Can this vest be worn as a standalone top?
Yes — the full front button closure and structured fit allow it to be worn buttoned up as a standalone top. It works well with high-waisted trousers, wide-leg pants, or skirts.
What does the pinstripe pattern look like on this vest?
The vest features evenly spaced vertical pinstripes in a warm tan tone against a navy background. The stripes run the full length of the garment, giving it a classic, tailored appearance.
Does the cotton-linen blend wrinkle easily?
Cotton-linen blends can develop light creasing with wear, which is characteristic of the fabric. The structured, tailored construction of this vest helps it hold its shape well. Removing it promptly from the wash and hanging or laying flat to dry minimizes wrinkles.
How should I care for this waistcoat?
This vest is machine washable. Follow the care label inside the garment for specific temperature and cycle guidance. Lay flat or hang to dry to preserve the tailored shape and button closure.
