Wear Waistcoats Like a Fashionista Have you noticed that suit vests are back in women’s fashion again? We bet you have! Sleek waistcoats appropriate for a formal masculine co-ord are strutting on the catwalks and raging the streets again. If you look into the waistcoat history you’ll see that these initially masculine garments have been sneaking into women’s fashion from time to time. Trending back in the ‘90s, today, waistcoats are fiercely back on the fashion scene and mostly come in their genuine suit vest shape. Do you like the trend and wonder how to wear it in style now? If so, look at our suggestions below. Menswear suits with loose trousers and boxy jackets are the hottest trend and so are the waistcoats. You’ll never go wrong by wearing a regular waistcoat as a part of an office suit or layering it over a plain button-down and teaming the combo with wide-leg trousers to pull off a preppy and very stylish work look. For a more casual feel, get inspired by celebs and dare to wear a waistcoat-and-trouser combo as it is ditching a shirt or a blouse. A fitted vest over relaxed trousers or spiffy culottes paired with spiky high heels will set up a stunning street style look balancing between edginess and elegance. The best thing about modern women’s waistcoats is that they can easily function beyond a coordinated suit as well. Thus, feel free to mix a casual waistcoat with flared jeans and square-toe low-heel mules to hit the streets in style in the summer. Throw it over a shirt dress and wear chunky boots to finish off a grungy outfit. Or mix it with suit shorts, a cotton tee, and a pair of loafers to create a smart casual office getup. A suit vest iteration peculiar for women’s style only is a long waistcoat style. Reminiscent of a sleeveless blazer and usually coming in a relaxed fit, long waistcoats lend an elegant feminine touch. Wear them with cropped tapered trousers, skinny jeans, and snug-fitting skirts and dresses to kick off polished ladylike outfits.
