Highly Recommended New Independent of the Year
Description

The waistcoat is having a proper moment, and the Essie is exactly the sort that explains why. Cut in a soft, fluid viscose mix that drapes beautifully rather than standing stiffly to attention, in a warm flan tone — a proper buttery yellow somewhere between cream and custard — it has that easy, layered feel that lifts the simplest outfit into something considered.

Wear it over a tee with denim for everyday, layer it over a shirt for something more polished, or sling it over a slip dress when the British summer can't make up its mind. The kind of piece that earns its hanger space across multiple seasons.
Features
  • Silhouette: Waistcoat — a versatile layering piece
  • Colour: Flan — a soft, buttery yellow that flatters everyone
  • Fabric: 83% viscose, 9% polyester, 8% polyamide — soft, fluid, with beautiful drape
  • Sizes: 34–40 in Danish/EU sizing (roughly UK 8–14)
  • Brand origin: Danish design from b.young
Care Instructions

Gentle cool wash or dry clean to protect the viscose drape. Do not tumble dry. Reshape and dry flat. Iron on low if needed.
Size Guide

How to Measure Yourself Correctly

Achieve the perfect fit by following these simple measurement steps:

  • Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure horizontal.
  • Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, just above your navel.
  • Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, with your feed together.

Ensure the tape measure is snug, but not tight, and parallel to the floor.

*If you fall between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort and layering or down if you prefer a snug fit.
  • Hil (5'3", UK 10/12, 34EE bust): would take the 38. Waistcoats work well on her when there's room across the bust without too much volume below — she'd happily wear the 40 for a more relaxed layered fit.
  • Sue (5'0", UK 6): would take the 34. Petite proportions mean she'd want it sitting close to the body rather than swamping her.
  • Sizing conversion: b.young uses Danish/EU sizing. As a guide: 34 = UK 8, 36 = UK 10, 38 = UK 12, 40 = UK 14.
Why We Love It

The waistcoat moment isn't going anywhere, and a soft flan tone like this works far harder than black or grey ever would. Endlessly layerable, instantly elevating — the easy answer to "I have nothing to wear".
Styling Suggestions
  • Hil (UK 38 / 12): worn open over a tucked-in tee or shirt with straight-leg jeans, gold jewellery and slingbacks — quietly polished.
  • Sue (UK 34 / 8): over a fitted vest with high-waisted denim shorts, chunky boots and stacked jewellery — pure summer boho Sue.
