Sacai Nylon vest

Sacai’s signature deconstruction is applied to classic military archetypes, resulting in this distinctive vest. The design reinterprets the iconic bomber jacket with a modern, sleeveless silhouette, crafted from a technical fabric that offers a subtle sheen. It's a versatile layering piece for transitional weather.

The art of the detail

Presented in a versatile green hue, this vest is defined by its bomber-inspired silhouette. The technical nylon construction provides a lightweight feel and structured shape, while ribbed cotton trim at the collar and hemline adds textural contrast. A two-way zip runs down the front, allowing for adjustable styling and layering. The back is thoughtfully pleated, adding an unexpected element of volume and movement that is characteristic of the brand's innovative approach to design, creating a piece that balances utility with avant-garde appeal.

How to wear

Layer this vest over a crisp white T-shirt and pair with tailored trousers for an elevated take on everyday dressing. Add a pair of chunky-soled loafers and a structured leather bag to complete the look for a day of city appointments or gallery visits. The sleeveless design makes it an ideal transitional item, easily worn over fine-knit sweaters as the temperature drops. Its unique silhouette transforms a simple base layer into a considered ensemble, suitable for a weekend brunch or a casual creative meeting, offering both function and a distinct point of view.
