Lula Knitted Vest – Layering Knit

The knitted vest Lula is a clean, modern layer with a soft buttermilk look and a beautifully useful shape. Designed with a round ribbed neckline, open slashed armholes and a gently stepped hem, it gives warmth through the body while keeping the outfit light, easy and free around the arms.

From the front, Lula has a simple sleeveless outline with a smooth knitted body and strong ribbed trims. From the side, the high-low shape becomes more visible: the front sits slightly shorter, while the back falls longer with neat side vents for movement. This gives the vest a flattering drape without making it feel oversized or heavy.

Knitted in a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, this cashmere knitted vest feels soft, warm and naturally breathable. Wear it over a crisp shirt, fine roll neck, cotton tee or long-sleeve dress for understated luxury knitwear that works from quiet weekdays to relaxed weekends.

Why This Knitted Vest Belongs in a Layered Wardrobe

  • Round ribbed neckline gives the vest a clean, finished frame
  • Slashed armholes create space for shirts, tees and fine knits underneath
  • Shorter front and longer back create a flattering high-low proportion
  • 7cm side vents help the vest sit smoothly over layers
  • Ribbed trims add structure without making the shape stiff
  • Sleeveless design gives warmth without sleeve bulk
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend feels soft, breathable and naturally warm
  • A versatile alternative to a full jumper or cardigan

Lula is built around proportion. The front view shows a simple round-neck vest with a straight, calm body, but the profile view reveals the detail that makes it special: a longer back hem and side vents that give the knit movement.

The armholes are slashed and finished with a generous 3.5cm rib, creating a clean border around the shoulder and side body. This gives enough room to layer over a shirt or slim knit without pulling, while still keeping the outline neat.

The shorter front helps the vest sit easily at the hip, especially with high-waisted trousers or skirts. The longer back brings soft coverage, making Lula feel relaxed, balanced and practical without becoming bulky.

Lula is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, a blend chosen for softness, warmth and everyday resilience. The cashmere gives the vest a gentle, luxurious handle, while the lambswool adds bounce, body and natural insulation.

The knitted surface looks clean and tactile, with ribbing at the neck, armholes and hem to help the shape hold neatly. It feels warm enough to add comfort on cooler days, but the sleeveless construction keeps it breathable and easy to wear indoors.

This is the kind of luxury knitwear that works hard in a wardrobe: soft enough to feel special, simple enough to wear often, and structured enough to layer beautifully.

A knitted vest is useful because it adds warmth exactly where you need it, without covering the arms or hiding the layers underneath. Lula gives that practical idea a more refined finish with its ribbed trims, high-low hem and soft natural-fibre blend.

Compared with a jumper, it feels lighter and easier to style through changing weather. Compared with a cardigan, it gives a cleaner uninterrupted front. The result is a piece that can look minimal, relaxed or quietly smart depending on what you wear underneath.

It is especially good for transitional dressing, travel layering and outfits where you want softness without heaviness.

Lula is for women who like their knitwear simple, useful and beautifully made. It suits anyone who wants a layering piece that can be worn over shirts, long-sleeve tops, roll necks or dresses without feeling too warm or restrictive.

Style the Buttermilk colour with soft denim, ivory trousers, navy, camel or charcoal for a calm tonal look. Choose stronger shades such as Rust, Fir Green or Turmeric when you want the same clean shape with more colour.

This sleeveless knitwear piece is ideal for workdays, weekends, countryside layering, cool spring mornings and autumn outfits that need warmth but not bulk.

To keep your Lula knitted vest soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Wash with similar colours only
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the neckline, armhole trims, side vents and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulder and armhole shape

What makes Lula a knitted vest?

Lula has a sleeveless body, round ribbed neckline and open slashed armholes, giving it the structure of a vest with the softness of luxury knitwear.

Is Lula made from cashmere?

Yes. Lula is made from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, giving softness, warmth and breathability with enough structure for layering.

How does the high-low hem fit?

The front bodice is shorter, while the back falls longer. This creates a relaxed high-low line that gives coverage at the back while keeping the front easy to style.

What are slashed armholes?

Slashed armholes are open, clean-cut arm openings finished with rib trim. On Lula, they make layering easier and give the vest its modern sleeveless shape.

Can I wear this vest over a shirt?

Yes. The roomy armholes and side vents make Lula ideal over shirts, blouses, fine roll necks and long-sleeve tops.

Does the Buttermilk colour look warm or bright?

The Buttermilk shade shown in the images has a soft creamy tone. It feels lighter than oatmeal but warmer than pure white, making it easy to pair with neutrals.

Are the side vents only decorative?

No. The 7cm side vents help the vest move with the body and sit smoothly over layers, especially when worn with trousers or shirts underneath.

Is this sleeveless knitwear suitable for winter?

Yes, especially as a layering piece. It adds warmth through the body while keeping the arms free, so it works well under coats or over fitted base layers.

Which size should I choose?

Lula is available in S/M and M/L. Choose S/M for a neater fit or M/L if you prefer more ease through the chest and layering room.

How should I style a knitted vest?

Wear it over a white shirt for a clean look, over a fine roll neck for warmth, with denim for weekends, or over a simple dress for a softer layered outfit.

Will the ribbed armholes keep their shape?

With gentle care, yes. Reshape the armhole trims while damp and dry the vest flat to help preserve the rib structure.

What makes Lula different from a basic sleeveless jumper?

Lula has a more considered shape, with a round ribbed neck, slashed armholes, side vents and a longer back hem. These details make it easier to layer and more flattering from the side.

Why Siggy Has Such an Easy Shape

  • Oversized jumper shape gives Siggy its relaxed, modern character
  • Short batwing sleeves create soft volume without heavy arm coverage
  • Scoop neckline keeps the upper line open and easy to layer
  • Deep side splits let the knit move naturally over trousers, skirts or dresses
  • Ribbed hem panels add weight and texture at the lower edge
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend brings softness, warmth and natural resilience

Siggy is cut with a generous box shape, so the garment falls away from the body rather than sitting close. The dropped shoulder line continues into short batwing sleeves, giving the top its soft architectural drape. The neckline is rounded and open, with a clean ribbed finish that frames the collarbone without feeling tight.

The side splits are an important part of the design. They open the lower edge so the ribbed hem can sit freely at the front and back, while the longer back length adds coverage and movement. This gives Siggy the feel of a knitted top, a poncho-inspired layer and an oversized jumper in one simple piece.

Siggy is made from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend in an 8 gauge / 4 ply knit. Cashmere gives the yarn its smooth, soft touch, while lambswool adds warmth, depth and shape retention. Together they create a cashmere blend jumper that feels comforting but not overly heavy.

The 8 gauge / 4 ply construction gives Siggy more presence than a fine knit, helping the boxy form hold its outline while still feeling soft enough for everyday wear. It is a practical choice for layering through cooler months, especially when you want warmth around the body with a lighter sleeve shape.

Choose Siggy when you want knitwear that feels easy but still has personality. The wide body, short sleeve shape and side splits make it more distinctive than a basic crew neck jumper, while the cashmere mix yarn keeps it soft, warm and wearable.

It is especially useful on days when a full long-sleeved jumper feels too heavy. Siggy gives warmth across the body and shoulders, but leaves room for styling underneath. That makes it a versatile piece for changing seasons, indoor layering and relaxed everyday outfits.

Siggy works well over a fitted long-sleeved top, cotton shirt, slim roll neck or simple dress. The short batwing sleeve leaves the under-layer visible, which makes the outfit feel intentional rather than bulky. The oversized shape also balances neatly with slimmer trousers, denim, leggings or straight skirts.

For a more polished look, wear it over a crisp shirt with the collar sitting just inside the scoop neckline. For casual days, pair it with a fine jersey base layer and relaxed trousers. The side splits help the ribbed hem sit cleanly, even over pieces with more structure underneath.

To keep your Siggy cashmere mix jumper soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, care for it gently:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not bleach or tumble dry
  • Reshape carefully while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat
  • Fold for storage rather than hanging
  • Use a cashmere comb lightly if natural pilling appears

What kind of jumper is Siggy?

Siggy is an oversized cashmere mix jumper with a boxy body, short batwing sleeves, a rounded scoop neckline, ribbed hem panels and deep side splits.

Is Siggy suitable for layering?

Yes. The open neckline, short sleeves and loose cut make Siggy easy to wear over shirts, fine roll necks, long-sleeved tops or dresses.

What is Siggy made from?

Siggy is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool in an 8 gauge / 4 ply construction.

How does Siggy fit?

Siggy has a one-size, oversized fit with a 78cm chest, 63cm front length and 69cm back length. The cut is deliberately loose and boxy.

Does the longer back change how it sits?

The longer back adds coverage and creates a softer drape from the side. It helps the jumper feel relaxed while keeping the front visually light.
