Mocha Textured Long Waistcoat

It falls at 25", which puts the hem well below the hip. The front V-cut slit breaks up that length visually, so the piece reads as a layering-friendly longline rather than a boxy cover-up. Worn open over straight-leg trousers or a midi skirt, the slit creates a leg-lengthening line that a solid hem wouldn't.

The blend is 64% polyester, 34% viscose, and 2% elastane. The poly and viscose give the fabric structure with a soft drape, while the elastane adds just enough give so it moves with you rather than pulling across the shoulders or bust. It's not a stiff suiting fabric, which makes it comfortable from a morning meeting through to dinner.

Machine wash. The polyester-viscose blend holds up well in a regular cycle. Turn it inside out and use a gentle setting to keep the textured surface looking its best.

Two things do the work here. Princess dart seaming runs through the front panels to pull the fabric in at the waist and give the longline cut a defined shape. The adjustable strap at the back lets you dial in the fit further without altering the garment. Together they mean the waistcoat follows your silhouette rather than hanging straight off the shoulders.

Yes. The square neckline and gold rim button read as polished enough for a workday, while the 25" length and V-cut slit give it an evening edge. It's tagged for both workwear and dinner occasions, and it pairs cleanly with the matching co-ord pieces in the same collection if you want a pulled-together look for either setting.

It's been spotted on Malaika Arora and is one of The Label Life's bestselling styles for 2025. If you've been looking at it for a while, you're not alone.
