Effortless Layered Style in One Piece
KELEN – Layered Knit Vest × Striped Shirt Dress “APOLU”
Looking for a piece that looks styled without the extra effort?
The APOLU shirt dress from Japanese brand KELEN does just that — combining the look of a striped shirt and knit vest in one beautifully designed piece.
This clever design gives you a polished layered look, but without the fuss of pairing two separate items.
The V-neck knit vest is seamlessly attached to the shirt, so you can simply slip it on and go.
Crafted from crisp striped cotton and a soft-touch knit, it feels light and airy — perfect for spring.
The slightly oversized silhouette drapes naturally and creates a relaxed, yet refined feel.


Details that Make a Difference
One standout feature is the back view:
A gently folded yoke with overlapping pleats adds movement and a sense of depth.
Whether you’re walking or turning, the design brings flow and interest from every angle.
The longer length makes it easy to wear as a dress on its own or layered over pants.
Side slits add comfort and a clean, modern finish.
