Product Insights
The Icône Golden Buttons Ruffled Vest is a Simons exclusive Canadian design delivering a deliberately shaped boxy silhouette with fitted shoulders and relaxed body, true to size. Its twill weave construction (95% poly/5% elas) holds ruffle sleeve shape without stiffness, resists wrinkles better than plain weave, and provides durable everyday wear with fluid drape. Cold water washing reduces shrinkage by 60-80%; care includes washing inside out in a mesh bag and line drying. Priced at $69 CAD—roughly one-sixth the cost of designer alternatives—it offers value but slit pockets only accommodate small items like keys or lip balm, not a phone.
Verified claims
- Styling comparison
- Boxy ruffle-sleeve cut distinguishes it from knit, tailored, and dense knit gold-button vests.
- Brand exclusivity
- Exclusive to Simons' Icône label and designed in Canada.
- Fit
- Fitted shoulders and a slightly relaxed body create a deliberately shaped, not oversized, silhouette.
- Sizing
- Runs true to standard sizing, consistent with other Icône pieces.
- Construction
- The twill weave's dense staggered structure holds ruffle sleeve shape without stiffness.
- Design
- Waist-length boxy fitted silhouette in a warm cream/off-white twill with a pointed hem, vertical princess seams, and functional slit front pockets.
- Wrinkle resistance
- Twill weave provides superior wrinkle recovery compared to plain weave.
- Silhouette
- The twill weave gives the vest a fluid drape that holds the boxy cut with relaxed elegance rather than sitting stiffly on the body.
- Fabric
- 95% poly/5% elas twill: holds shape, resists wrinkles, drapes fluidly.
- Shrinkage prevention
- Cold water wash reduces twill shrinkage by 60-80%.
- Care
- Wash on a gentle cold cycle with the vest turned inside out or in a mesh bag, line dry, and avoid bleach to preserve the embossed gold buttons.
- Value
- At $69 CAD, roughly one-sixth the cost of designer ruffle vests.
- Pocket utility
- Slit front pockets hold keys or lip balm but not a phone.
- Stretch and comfort
- The twill has slight stretch from 5% elastane and a soft, non-scratchy hand, so the vest moves with the body and is comfortable for all-day wear.
- Weight and layering
- The vest is a lightweight-to-midweight twill, not a heavy fabric; it works as a transitional layer over a long-sleeve top or blouse but is not a cold-weather garment on its own.
- Layering with jackets
- The ruffle sleeves add volume at the shoulder and arm opening, so the vest layers under an open or roomy blazer but may bunch or feel tight under a slim tailored blazer.
- Lining and opacity
- The vest is fully lined in the same polyester-elastane blend, which helps it hang cleanly and adds opacity; the Off White colorway can read slightly translucent in strong direct light but should not show through in normal daylight.
- Origin and sizing consistency
- Icône pieces are designed in Canada, and this vest follows the same true-to-size fit as the brand's other Canadian-designed pieces.
- Durability and shape retention
- The woven twill with 5% elastane trades some elongation for superior shape retention and greater resistance to sagging over time compared to a knit.

| Golden Buttons Ruffled Vest: Choose this for a waist-length, fitted vest look with feminine detailing, including short ruffled petal sleeves, a crew neckline, embossed golden buttons down the front, and small slit front pockets with a pointed hem. It is cut from a supple, slightly stretchy twill (95% polyester, 5% elastane, with a matching lining) and comes in Black and Off White in sizes small through large. Note that the pockets' functionality and whether the buttons open and close are not confirmed, so treat them primarily as styled details.[1,2,3,4,5] | Dense Crepe Shoulder Pads Crossover Vest: Choose this if you want a sleeveless, cropped vest with built-in shoulder pads for a squared, defined shoulder line, a deep crossover V neck, and a pointed overlapping hem that ends above the waist. It is made of thick stretch crepe (72% recycled polyester, 22% viscose, 6% spandex) with a thin satiny lining, a hidden side zip, and fitted waist seams, offered in Black or Off White from X-SMALL to X-LARGE. Note that the back hem sits above the waistline with a small layered gap at the lower back center, so it works best over high-waisted bottoms.[6,7,8,9] | Dense Knit Covered Buttons Elongated Vest: Choose this if you want a sleeveless, elongated vest in a thick, supple stretch knit with a smooth matte finish, a fitted torso that extends past the waist, and tonal fabric-covered buttons down the front. It adds practical details like waist-level welt pockets, an adjustable back waist strap with a metal D-ring buckle, and a thin satiny lining, with a shell of 55% reprocessed polyester, 40% polyester, and 5% spandex. It comes in sizes X-Small through X-Large in Black or Patterned Green, and is designed in Canada as an Icône by Simons exclusive.[10,11,12] |
