Driftwood Vest

The Driftwood Vest is a sleeveless top that features a classic, crew neckline and beautiful knit-like texture. This unisex garment is worked in rows from the bottom-up with flattering underarm shaping, so the straps sit comfortably on the shoulders. Plus, it can be layered during the chilly seasons or worn all by itself during the warmer ones!
