{"product_id":"gerard-darel-pullover-vest-deu03e222-red","title":"Gerard Darel | Merino Wool Buttoned Vest - Deep Red","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is a particular confidence to a deep red knit, and this Gerard Darel pullover-vest hybrid captures it with a distinctly Parisian nonchalance. The silhouette is the first thing you notice: a clean, straight shape that skims the body without clinging, offering a modern alternative to the ubiquitous fitted cardigan. It arrives as a buttoned piece, but its construction and weight give it the substance of a pullover, creating that coveted layered look with zero effort. The deep red hue—a rich, wine-soaked tone rather than a bright cherry—feels both autumnal and timeless, grounding any outfit with a quiet warmth.\n\nCrafted from 100% merino wool, the fabric is where this piece truly distinguishes itself. Merino of this quality offers a distinctive hand: supremely soft against the skin, with a fine, dense knit that feels substantial yet breathable. It is a natural fiber that regulates temperature beautifully, making this vest a master of mid-season dressing. The wool has a slight, natural luster that catches the light subtly, preventing the deep red from falling flat. It drapes with a gentle weight, allowing the straight shape to hold its line without feeling boxy or stiff—an engineering of knitwear that Gerard Darel executes with consistent precision.\n\nThe details are deliberately understated, in keeping with the maison’s classic chic ethos. A round neckline keeps the look clean and easy, pairing effortlessly with collared shirts or simple tees. The long sleeves are cut straight, falling to the wrist without excess fabric. The button placket runs the full length, allowing for multiple styling interpretations. At the bottom hem, a small embroidered GB logo serves as the only ornament—a discreet signature that speaks to those in the know. The straight cut through the body and shoulder means it layers beautifully over finer knits or silk tops without adding bulk, while still providing enough coverage to wear alone.\n\nThis is a piece that moves with you, designed for the rhythm of a city day. It transitions from a cool morning commute to a lunch meeting to an evening out without missing a beat. Wear it unbuttoned over a white poplin shirt with tailored trousers for a sharp, intellectual look, or buttoned up with a midi skirt and ankle boots for a more polished stance. Its deep red serves as a neutral in the right context, pairing exceptionally well with denim, camel coats, and grey flannel. For a more contemporary edge, layer it over a fine black turtleneck and wide-leg trousers, letting the vested silhouette do the talking. It is an investment in texture and proportion, a piece that will anchor your autumn and winter rotations for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GERARD DAREL","offers":[{"title":"RED \/ T0","offer_id":41802054369413,"sku":"DEU03E222","price":1695.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RED \/ T1","offer_id":41802054402181,"sku":"DEU03E222","price":1695.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RED \/ T2","offer_id":41802054434949,"sku":"DEU03E222","price":1695.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RED \/ T3","offer_id":41802054467717,"sku":"DEU03E222","price":1695.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/GERARD_DAREL-DEU03E222-RED-1.jpg?v=1786496586","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/gerard-darel-pullover-vest-deu03e222-red","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
