WESTE GITTI
Have you noticed? A long quilted vest is the current favorite of the season! It keeps you nice and warm, looks super chic and can be styled in many different ways at any time. This season, we prefer to wear it simply with jeans, an oversized hoodie and platform ankle boots. With a knitted dress, a denim jacket or faux leather leggings and a thick wool sweater - there are so many great ways to style this it-piece of the season! With our free pattern for a long hooded vest GITTI VEST, you can now sew this fashion trend.
