In deep winter, any extra layer of warmth is welcome. Eria is a sleeveless, drop-shoulder vest with a large, cozy cowl neck. Knit in worsted weight the Eria can be layered over long- or short-sleeved tees. The faux button bands add interest without taking away from the simplicity of the design. Pair with jeans and boots or dress it up with a skirt.
