As the crisp chill of autumn sets in and winter approaches, layering becomes key to creating chic, practical outfits. This season, Nooki Design brings you the Viola Waistcoat —a versatile, 100% wool knitted gilet that’s destined to be a staple in your wardrobe. If you’re looking to stay on-trend while effortlessly embracing the art of layering, the Viola Waistcoat is your go-to piece. Here's why it's a must-have for AW24 and how to style it for maximum impact.
Knitted waistcoats have become one of the standout trends for Autumn/Winter 2024. The resurgence of the classic ‘grandad-style’ knit is not just about warmth; it’s about injecting a laid-back, luxe vibe into your outfits. A well-chosen waistcoat, like the Viola, can elevate any casual ensemble and keep you snug during those colder months. What we love about the trend is how easy it is to layer with various textures, making it the perfect transition piece between seasons.
The Viola Waistcoat, available in grey and cream, offers endless styling possibilities. Whether you’re dressing for a relaxed weekend brunch or layering up for a chilly day at work, here’s how to wear it:
For an effortless weekend look, pair the Viola Waistcoat with a classic Cherie T-shirt and your favourite denim. The combination of soft wool and casual jeans strikes the perfect balance between comfort and style. Complete the look with a pair of chunky boots and a crossbody bag like our Leyton Bag, and you're set for a relaxed autumn day out.
The Viola Waistcoat is an ideal layering piece for the office or casual business settings. For a sophisticated take, wear it over a Twinkle Sweater or Annabelle Sweater. The luxurious wool of the waistcoat contrasts beautifully with a fitted knit underneath, offering a chic and cosy look that will keep you warm without feeling bulky. Add tailored trousers and heeled boots for a polished finish.
One of the most exciting ways to style the Viola Waistcoat is over long-sleeve dresses. During the warmer autumn months, throw it over a midi or maxi length dress for a boho-inspired piece for a playful, layered look. In the colder months, add tights, knee-high boots, and a statement belt to cinch your waist for an extra stylish silhouette.
For a more elevated, luxe casual vibe, team the Viola Waistcoat with our best-selling Cynthia Jumper in pink or blue mix. This combo exudes understated luxury, and the textures of soft wool and intricate embroidery create a stunning layered effect. Finish with leather trousers or the Caroline Trousers for a chic, versatile outfit that’s ideal for casual evenings out.
Versatility and Warmth – The Viola Waistcoat is perfect for unpredictable autumn weather. Its breathable wool construction keeps you cosy without overheating, making it ideal for layering over a variety of outfits.
On-Trend Yet Timeless – While the knitted waistcoat trend is having a moment, the Viola Waistcoat’s simple and elegant design means it will remain a wardrobe staple long after the trend cycle. Its neutral colours and high-quality wool ensure it pairs well with any colour palette, year after year.
A Piece for Every Occasion – From casual errands to chic dinners, the Viola Waistcoat transitions effortlessly. Dress it up or down, mix and match it with various textures, and enjoy its versatility across your autumn/winter wardrobe.
As we embrace the knitted waistcoat trend for AW24, the Viola Waistcoat stands out as the ultimate layering piece. Whether you're styling it over dresses, sweaters, or denim, it's designed to be both functional and fashionable. Stay warm, stay stylish, and embrace the effortless chic of the Viola Waistcoat this season.
