I purchased this at a store. I've been using it for going out. The back has elastic for stretch. It looks clean from the front, so you can also style it with a tucked-in look to enhance your silhouette. It's also great that it has pockets on both sides. It's a gray check pattern, and it's recommended as an accent piece for knitwear and sweatshirts. - Color: Gray - Pattern: Check - Waist: Elastic waist - Material: Polyester blend Thank you for viewing.
