How to wear a vest

How To Wear A Vest



Maximize the elegance of a simple black vest by pairing it with matching trousers and a perfectly cut white shirt. Add a coal-colored silk tie and you’ll be the most commanding presence at the office—and the dinner table.


Dress down a dark wool vest by wearing it over a striped polo with black jeans. Make sure each piece is slim-cut and limit the jewelry to a watch.


With washed-in jeans, you can wear a vest in gray herringbone. Reinforce the laid-back look with a starch-free collared shirt—and keep your sleeves rolled up.




The slimming effect of a vest works especially well with a bright plaid shirt. Skip the tie and opt for tailored pants in black or charcoal.



The vest-and-pants combination is always dapper—particularly in a classic black-and-white houndstooth pattern or a Prince of Wales check and worn with a bold tie.
