Endless styling opportunities with either of these cosy red knitted vests. 

Both are designed with a regular fit and a neat V neckline ready to be worn alone or ideal for layering. 

The buttoned version is made with a touch of wool for a warm and cosy feel fastened with a row of tortoiseshell buttons, while the slightly chunkier ribbed knit features zips at the side for added detail. 

Lovely to wear over a column of black, navy or gray for the Winter or use the block color to highlight one of the colors in a stripe or pattern. 

Fairlisle is a traditional knitting technique practiced on the Shetland Islands using multiple colors at the same tie.

Not an easy knitting technique so how lovely to see this heritage-inspired design in a lambswool-rich vest from Seasalt Cornwall (available at M & S).  

Choose from an easy wear slip-on with a neat crew neck perfect for popping on over long-sleeved tops with or without a collar. Or a flattering v-neckline on the button-through version.

It happily converts from a wear-alone to a extra layer.
