WAISTCOAT is an underrated piece of men’s clothing. A piece, if properly worn, can bring a new dimension to your look. It gives enough room to experiment with layers and remain stylish. Waistcoat can be worked with almost any ensemble with a little imagination. It makes you look streamlined and tidy. Waistcoat can be worn casually or formally.
Basic rules:
- Get the right fit: Baggy waistcoat makes you look bigger than you are and could look tacky and untidy.
- Make sure your colours match properly. Do not mix prints. If the shirt is plain, the waistcoat can have some prints, but if it’s a printed shirt, best keep the waistcoat plain.
- Pick the right shoes. Your shoes are going to make or break this look, so choose your shoes with caution. Match your waistcoat with the right coloured shoes.
- Keep everything else well fitted.
- Choose the right material. You don’t want to be looking like a waiter.
Pair with jeans or chinos and you are good to go.
