Marlene Vintage style vest in navy blue from Daisy Dapper.
Classic 1940s charm with a modern twist
Create a sophisticated and cool retro look with the beautiful Marlene vest from Daisy Dapper – inspired by Marlene Dietrich and the iconic menswear-inspired silhouettes of the 1940s, designed for feminine shapes.
The vest features a wide lapel collar that elegantly frames the classic V-neckline – perfect for showcasing a lovely pussy bow or a vintage ladies' tie for an authentic statement look. The single-breasted button placket emphasizes the vest's timeless design, while the tailored cut allows room for the bust and beautifully highlights the waist.
At the back, you will find an adjustable buckle, so you can perfectly tailor the vest to your figure. The fabric is woven in a mottled dark brown denim look with a slight stretch, providing both comfort and an elegant vintage expression.
Wear it over a classic vintage shirt, and style it with our Billie trousers for a Marlene Dietrich-inspired suit look – or wear it alone for a flattering and feminine silhouette.

Questions about fit, styling and silhouette
Are you unsure about size, body shape or how to style your vintage-inspired jacket or coat? Here we have gathered the most important answers about fit, silhouette and vintage-inspired coats and jackets, so you can more easily find the style that suits you best.
A vintage-inspired jacket is a newly produced jacket with cuts and details inspired by historical fashion. At Mondo Kaos, many of our jackets reference especially the 1940s and 1950s, with defined waists, structured shoulders, swing cuts and cropped jacket styles.
No. Our jackets and coats are newly produced and vintage-inspired. This means you get the vintage look combined with modern sizing, materials and comfort.
Jackets in the 1940s were often structured and practical, with defined shoulders, a marked waist and relatively simple details. Tailored wool jackets, cropped jackets and military-inspired cuts were characteristic of the decade.
Coats from the 1950s often had more volume, softer shoulders and a focus on the waist. Swing coats and coats with princess seams were popular because they worked beautifully over full skirts and dresses.
A cropped bolero or tailored jacket works well with most vintage-inspired dresses because it keeps the waist visible. For dresses with a full skirt, a swing coat is also a beautiful choice.
A vintage-inspired blazer should fit well across the shoulders and ideally define the waist. It can be tailored, but it should not feel tight or pull across the buttons.
Yes. Vintage-inspired jackets work really well in a modern wardrobe. Try a tailored blazer with jeans and a T-shirt, or a cropped jacket with high-waisted trousers for a more subtle retro look.
