Women's Linen and Cable Knit Gilet

Product Insights & Style Tips

Max Mara's Linen and Cable Knit Gilet embodies the brand’s quiet-luxe mood—polished, breathable, and endlessly versatile. The front is pure linen twill, crisp and airy, while the back gets texture with a cable-knit linen insert. The V-neckline and four branded buttons keep the line clean, and horizontal-welt pockets offer discreet convenience. A stretch fine rib-knit band at the back waist nips the silhouette for a modern fit.

With a slim fit at the waist, it layers smoothly over a blouse or tee and beneath a jacket when the weather shifts. The front linen stays light; the back knit shapes softly as you move—from meetings to weekend errands. The pockets hold small essentials, and care stays straightforward: hand wash cold or professional dry clean; lay flat to dry and cool iron if needed.

As a modern vest, it sits squarely in Max Mara’s code of timeless tailoring and luxe textiles. Dress it up with tailored trousers for city polish or toss it over a slip dress for evening ease—the gilet demonstrates that careful layering can be as statement as it is practical.
