A well-chosen vest can turn a blazer and pants into a stylish three-piece suit, but it’s important to pay attention to the styling and fit.
On the style side, a vest will traditionally match the colour of the suit around it, and this is a good rule of thumb. However, much as with suits for men, there’s no reason you can’t mix and match with colours and patterns. Try some colour options and choose for yourself.
In terms of fit, there are some guidelines that apply to vest wearers of all ages. Firstly, ensure the vest extends over the waist so as to cover the shirt (particularly in the case of kids who are still growing) and avoid anything that is too tight or restrictive once buttoned up.
