Ol’ school fashion is indeed making its way back into the fashion industry of today. If u can recall, the checks, the fedoras, the VEST!!! Yes, VEST s are indeed becoming one of the most popular ‘items’ these days.

The term vest derives from French veste, Italian vesta, veste “robe, gown”, Latin vest is “to clothe”. In fact the vest was introduced by the King of England back in the 1660’s. King Charles II declared his resolution of fashion for clothes (which is the vest) for the purpose of teaching the nobility thrift. (haha, dun see the point though)
Well, vest in the “oldern” days used to be worn under the blazer by men as a form of a formal attire. But as fashion (and the music industry – thanks to Justin Timberlake) is one hell of a crazy uniquely astounding amazing expression of taste and ideas (as one quoted) it has materialized the old traditional monotonous concept of vest. Even the donning of the suit vest in women is proving its come back.

Vests do come in different shapes and sizes and materials and styles basically ranging from :-

Button up vest (Left), to sweater vest (R) and suit vest (L) (Middle), to in-bankerly worsteds and pinstripes (Right), and “odd vests,” in solid colors, checks and suede.

Here, are some tips on how to carry the vest image right:-

For da’ gals

• A long white button up shirt, vest, blackleggings, heels.
• A white shirt that has the tuxedo ruffles at the top, vest with a black pencil skirt, or with dark was trouser jeans (or even with those checks pleated skirts).
• Vest with any sleeveless top with skinny jeans and heels.

For da’ guyz

• Any long button up shirt (of course the shirt color has to somehow match the color of your vest)
• A suit vest with a polo T with either black jeans or dark colored jeans (an addition of a fedora will definitely make your look stand out)
• Any casual T’shirts with a rugged pair of jeans will go well with a simple black vest.

*An addition of a fedora will definitely make your look stand out. Of course make sure the vest hits the belt right and that the vest isn’t boxy but form fitting.*
With all that erudition, go to your nearest store and pick out a cool looking vest and just go insanely artistic and just ROCK IT BaBEh…!!
