Pompon addict! 4 ways to wear your new cardigan
It's been almost 15 days since we launched the great Pompon sewing challenge , and it's a joy to see your first creations around our pretty free vest pattern. Pompon has everything to become a must-have in your wardrobe, because the suit vest is a versatile piece that will follow your style desires. Discover the 4 looks that I built around the Pompon vest , with accessorizing suggestions and my fashion inspirations.
Business cool look
Here Pompon is considered literally, a working girl inspiration in pumps. Sewn in a soft tailored wool , this set is elegant and comfortable. To break up the very formal silhouette, I slipped a white cotton tank top under my cardigan, and accessorized with a silver necklace with large links. The outfit then becomes more interesting, less strict. I wear it with the Tigris coat in black wool, which has a crazy look and a line that is totally in keeping with this look. I really like combining navy blue and black: in beautiful materials, this combination brings relief.

Spring look
In ecru Lily viscose jacquard , with its satin floral patterns, Pompon is adorable. But we could easily fall into the ceremonial outfit and that's not the idea at all. So I chose to shake up my beautiful cardigan with a more everyday and spring outfit: slightly wide high-waisted jeans, pretty bright red sandals and a Dandelion jacket perfect for mid-season. The fabrics remain in the same tone (Ink blue, white, ecru, denim blue) and the shoes bring the colorful and joyful touch.

Bohemian look
Change of atmosphere, I'm going to a concert ;) Here the outfit navigates between rock, bohemian and dandy, with an assumed muse: Kate Moss and her worked coolness. I chose for this outfit my Pompon in Jazz jacquard, over the white tied Skyline shirt , with old denim shorts and suede ankle boots. We no longer have at Maison Fauve the cappuccino pied de puce fabric and the pretty white jacquard of the shirt, but our new tartan wool will be perfect for a Pompon in this slightly grunge spirit, and a Skyline in Lily jacquard would be beautiful.
As for accessories, I opted for a silk scarf with polka dots and fringes, which perfectly matches the false nonchalance of the whole thing. I finished my outfit with my Pam gabardine coat (because the weather is not always good at English rock festivals haha).

Black look for big evenings
For this last outfit I revisit the tuxedo, in all-over black of absolute elegance: black Onyx Pompon vest with the light gold Poppy buttons turned back , Metropolis jacket and jewel buttons , flexible Brooklyn pants , the buttons bring rhythm to the silhouette. I opted for sparkling and colorful sandals that are revealed when I walk, and on the accessories side I pay homage to Coco with a beautiful two-tone pearl necklace by Chanel vintage and camellia brooch also by Chanel. The Metropolis jacket with its absence of collar and its box shape plays the same couture score.

And to go further with the Pompon boss
I loved creating these different looks, based on my "small collection" of Pompon. But there are so many other pretty avenues to explore for a Pompon look that suits you: use colorful jacquards , embroidered fabrics, or even make your own embroidery and patch applications. Another pretty inspiration is the vitamin suit look: a color block outfit will have a lot of style, and you can then mismatch your pieces.
