More ducks than necessary? We don't know her.
Ducks are having a moment, and honestly, they deserve it. They're cheerful, a little bit chaotic and always look like they're on their way somewhere important. Our Duck Tales drop is our love letter to them: Fair Isle-inspired duck knits, a quilted duckling vest and denim jorts with ducks embroidered on. Here are five ways to wear a duck sweater (and friends), from the full flock to just one little quack.
1. The full flock: Duck Tales Sweater + Dear Duck Jorts
Go big or go home (to the pond). The Duck Tales Sweater is a soft, chunky knit with a Fair Isle-inspired pattern of ducks, hearts and checkerboard, front and back, in blue, pink and cream. Pair it with the Dear Duck Jorts: 100% cotton speckled denim in a slightly faded deep blue wash, with lace-trim heart pockets and little embroidered ducks.
Styling tip: the sweater has a relaxed, off-shoulder fit, so let it sit loose over the jorts rather than tucking it in. The jorts have a stretchy waistband and can be worn high or low, so you can play with proportions. Finish with frilly socks and Mary Janes.
2. Duck in the city: Duck Tales Vest + a denim mini skirt
Same ducks, a little more layered. The Duck Tales Vest has the same Fair Isle-inspired duck pattern in a soft, chunky knit, finished with scalloped edges and pear wood buttons. Wear it over a navy tee or turtleneck with a dark denim mini skirt, and clip a little charm onto the waistband for an easy weekday look.
It fits comfy and relaxed (the same as our Critters Vest), so it works over long sleeves when the weather cools down too. Prefer jorts? It looks just as good with the Dear Duck Jorts.
3. Little duckling: Duck Duck Vest + a frilly blouse
For something softer, the Duck Duck Vest is a baby blue quilted vest covered in a duckling pattern, with a soft chambray-like texture and adjustable tie-strings. Layer it over a polka dot or frilly white blouse and add a white skirt or lace pants for full storybook energy.
Styling tip: tie the strings in a bow at the front. It's the easiest way to make a simple outfit look a bit special.
4. Country duck: Tongue Tied Blouse + Duckshire Skirt
Ducks don't have to be literal. The Duckshire Skirt is a heavyweight red tartan midi with inverted box pleats and custom duck buckles. It's a quieter nod to the flock. Pair it with the Tongue Tied Blouse in Navy, heavyweight cotton with a linen feel, a big statement collar, bishop sleeves and ribbon trim, for a cozy, countryside-meets-schoolyard look.
Want more ducks? Swap the blouse for the Duck Tales Sweater. Tartan and Fair Isle together is very much allowed.
5. Sweet and simple: Dear Duck Jorts + a white blouse
Let the jorts be the star. The Dear Duck Jorts are wide-leg and roomy, with lace-trim heart pockets and a little duck embroidered in each. Pair them with a crisp white puff-sleeve blouse, tuck it in at the front and tie a ribbon at the waist. Finish with a red headband or hair bow to pick up the reds in the embroidery.
Styling tip: a fitted top balances the wide legs. Short sleeves or a tucked-in tee work too.
Just a quack: more easy ideas
Not ready for the whole pond? Pick one duck piece and keep the rest plain:
- Duck Tales Sweater + straight-leg jeans + sneakers
- Dear Duck Jorts + a plain white tee or a striped top
- Duck Tales Vest over a long-sleeve top + black trousers for the office
- Duck Duck Vest over a simple slip dress
One duck is a vibe. A whole flock is a lifestyle. We support both.

- Denim blues and cream: picks up the blue and cream in the duck knits
- Baby pink and white: soft and sweet, especially with the Duck Duck Vest
- Navy and red tartan: a cozy, autumnal take on the duck look
