The Sara Vest (Black + Brown)

I’ve been waiting for a softshell style vest in navy for a long time. I love everything about the vest, but it doesn’t work for my body. The styling is for someone with a significantly shorter torso. The cut hits in weird places, and what would be so flattering on someone else makes me look lumpy and awkward. I want to love this vest so much. The construction is beautiful and the quality is great, but I wish it came in a long option for people with longer torsos.

Nicely tailored vest, fits snug, order a size up for a more generous fit order up. Looks absolutely beautiful on.

These vests are very flattering and comfortable!

I’m never disappointed with this brand. this is the second best I purchased from Novella and I didn’t think this one could top the last one but it did. the gold detail is just beautiful. the material is thick but not too thick … it screams quality. its form fitting and you can tell it durable. I absolutely love it.

Love this vest. Fit perfectly! I wish you'd do more colors.

I love the Sara vest; in fact, I have purchased every color. It is definitely my go to vest and I love the structure.

This vest has the cutest details, fits perfect to your curves, and is so comfortable 😍 It’s warm without being too bulky and it looks great with my riding outfits or going out outfits

Great fitting and very flattering

This vest fits great and looks great. It is stretchy so it moves with you around the horses. Lays flat over riding pants, slacks and jeans. I bought one in black and brown. Perfect to pair with a 1/4 zip.

It is stylish and very elegant

Awesome vest, great material and flattering fit.

The fabric on this vest is absolutely beautiful as is the fit. This vest by far is going to be the one I want to wear the most. Love it so much I am going to get in the brown color. A must have for riding .

I have the black Sara vest and once I saw it in navy I needed to have it. The added benefit is the two way zipper. The zipper pockets are the right size to have my phone with me. This vest adds the finishing look and great to wear

I’m counting down the days until it gets cool enough to wear this vest. The material is amazing, it’s stylish and form fitting

I love this vest. I purchased it in black while I was a horse show and after a week of wearing it almost every day I ordered it in brown! It is stretchy but fitted and creates a flattering silhouette

Absolutely love it, beautifully simple with a perfect fit! Will be ordering any other colors!

I rode in this vest today for the first time and was really happy with the fit and comfort. I got my usual size, XS. When I first put it on I thought I maybe should have bought the next size up, but after riding in it I’m very happy with the XS. It is snug, but the fit/cut is so good it’s really comfortable. And it doesn’t migrate around as you ride like a looser style of vest does. I’m really keen to get the black one now!

This was a gift for my daughter and she loved it! The quality is exceptional.

Very flattering vest! Love it wish they had more colors!

I normally take a small in the sunshirts so I ordered a small in this vest. It worked but it was very fitted and didn't lay well over a belt. I exchanged for a medium and it is perfect! Taryn was great with the exchange! The medium is still fitted but lays nice with a belt on while zipped. This vest is beautiful! The cut is super slimming and the fabric really holds you in nice. The hemline at the bottom is perfect for riding! I completely recommend and I am planning to buy the other color as well!

So elegant with equestrian details. I love the look and feel of the fabric. It’s slenderizing and has no bulk.

Not only flattering but high quality! I love this vest! I will definitely be purchasing the other color to add to my novella collection!🤍

I ordered the vest following the suggestion that the vest be ordered in the same size Novella shirts are ordered in. Unfortunately the Large was a bit tight on me, but so beautifully styled that I immediately exchanged it for an extra large. I am typically a large/size 14, but I am busty. The extra large fits perfectly and as I like: with a little compression and a "snug", not tight, fit. The fabric gives a very flattering shilhouette and the gold styling details "pop" and are very elegant.
Customer service experience was very simple and fast! I really love Novella's products and customer service!

QUALITY!!!! This vest is soooo nice! Very well made and the details are beautiful. Amazing fit! I wear medium shirts (I like them a bit snug) and ordered the medium vest. Perfect compression without being too tight! I love the stretchy-ness and how it conforms to all the curves without being bunchy. If you like a looser fit, then order up a size, but I ride a big bouncy schoolmaster and the compression is a bonus! This is my new favorite vest! Love it!

Fit, style, attention to details, this new vest has it all! To get a fit that flatters a full busted woman and can help control the bounce is a major win for some of us gals! This is a super addition to the Novella line, I chose the same size as the shirts I wear! Thanks Novella!

This vest is luxury meets versatility at its finest! Ellegent enough to wear to the office or an outing with friends, sturdy and comfortable enough to wear to the barn daily. The attention to detail and the quality of the fit are second to none!

The quality of this vest and the fit... just amazing!!!! Stretches but keeps everything in the right place... you knocked out of the park!! Love it!

After having kids, my waist was never the same! Dressage doesn't help your self-image when riding in front of mirrors. I started riding in vests to help me feel better and give me the illusion of the waist I used to have. Many vests would bunch up, pull in different spots, or make me look boxier. This vest does it all! It gives you gentle compression without bunching or creasing and smooths out your silhouette with the extra length in the back! This vest is a need, not a want! Thank you, Taryn, for finding such excellent materials and perfecting the pattern and lines of this design.

I just got my new vest and I am in love with the fit!! I ordered the black and I loved it so much I ordered the brown as well. I normally go for a double zip but this one fits so nice that it really doesn’t need it!

This vest is so comfortable and perfect for fall. It is true to size and it is so cute. Definitely recommend.

The best riding vest to date! All vests in the past have bunched up and been too long in the saddle. This fit looks phenomenal. When it arrives, it looks tiny but it stretches to fit you perfect! I wear a small in Novella shirts and did a Medium for the vest for a bit more room but if you wanted to compress, the small would be perfect too bc there is so much stretch.
