Nora Cow Print Vest, Brown/Cream

The Nora Cow Print Vest from Black Colour in Brown/Cream is a properly joyful winter layer — a soft fleece vest in a considered brown-and-cream cow print, cut relaxed with a button-up front. Playful without being twee, warm without being bulky, and the sort of layer that lifts a plain-knit-plus-denim day into something quietly special.

The design:

• Button-up front — wear buttoned closed for the fully-considered fit, or open as a loose vest layer
• Relaxed fit — generously cut so it layers beautifully over knitwear
• Soft fleece construction — cosy, tactile, considered
• Brown and cream cow print — earthy-neutral animal print that plays with denim, chocolate, camel and cream

Fabric-wise: 100% polyester soft fleece. Warm without weight, and the sort of texture that photographs beautifully.

Sizing:

• Available in S/M
• The Nora is generously fitted — both Hil and Sue take the S/M, but they wear it differently:
• Hil (S/M) — can fully button it up even in the S/M, so she wears it as the intentional closed-vest layered piece
• Sue (S/M) — loosey-goosey on her petite frame, which is exactly the way she wants it

How Hil wears hers — Nora over the top of one of several base layers:

• Over the new-in Faye Lurex Long-Sleeved Top in Coffee — the tonal warm-neutral move
• Or over the Suzy D Douceur Viscose Top in Bitter Chocolate — the deeper tonal-brown move
• Or over the Fransa Hizamond Tee in Antique — the pretty-considered contrast pairing

Then finished with her Toxik Tia Barrel Jeans in Chocolate Brown — the chocolate-barrel-plus-brown-cow-print head-to-toe autumn move.

How Sue wears hers — loosey-goosey, over a cream chunky knit, with her cropped Toxik Keira jeans and her ancient Russell & Bromley stacked olive boots. Vest as the outer layer, chunky knit doing the warmth work underneath, considered earthy-neutral head-to-toe.

Plays beautifully with the bitter-chocolate winter capsule (Y London Perfect Tank in Bitter Chocolate, Nobody's Child V-Neck Collared Jumper in Brown Striped) and pairs well with every warm-brown Black Colour piece on site.
