I’ve been looking for a few vest/waitcoats to add to my closet but thus far no luck. Does anyone have any ideas for where to buy them?

[...] suit. It adds an easy-going twist. Substituting pants for skirts is also a fab idea. Opting for a tailored waistcoat instead of a structured jacket is yet another. But take the structured top layer away and you’re [...]

I fell in love with vests as soon as I saw them in stores a couple of months ago. Right now I’m chomping at the bit to go shopping and find the perfect one (meaning one that fits perfectly, goes with several things in my closet, and is under $50). I love the idea of paring a vest with girly blouses. The top left and bottom right are my favorites pictured above.

Like the idea, but haven’t found any that look quite right over my chest. I get a lot of gapping and sometimes my chest pops out between. Seems best admired from afar.

I’m happy there’s excitement for the look. I think it’s a great look if executed with style.

Anne, I too wore waistcoats all through the ‘80’s and 90’s. I left the look for a decade and have started sporting them again over the last few years. I’m really into the interesting looking styles like top – middle.

Tanya, cord waistcoats are sweet. Very “English countryside”. It’s just cord pants I am challenged with . I love the way you sport your waistcoats with soft ruffled and neck-tie blouses. It suits you to a tee.

Nice waistcoat Kristin!

Laura, you’re after something more cropped and fitted like top-left or bottom-right.

We have Joy #1 and Joy #2. The more the merrier (pun intended).

Mirah, double breasted vests need to button-up, but you know how I feel about single-breasted styles and buttoning- up (or lack thereof). If it fits everywhere else – leave the waistcoat un-buttoned.

Munequita, you’ll have to show us a few waistcoat ensembles on the forum. I’m excited to see you sport them.

Plushpenguin, treat a waistcoat fit like a jacket fit.

It is going to take me a while to get used to this style. I am still thinking of the waistcoats I wore in the late 80’s (brocade type front) and the longer line ones I wore in the 90’s (I still have a longer pinstripe on in the dress up box. Of course the way these are being worn, as show in the picture, is very different, so I may come round in the end. I don’t like the look of the one that is in the middle of the top line. Seems too cropped.

I realized that as soon as I posted. lol. I’m semi-young and larger chested. BUt then, I don’t comment very much so it shouldn’t cause much of a problem.

It seems we have more than one Joy member. The old flat-chested one posted the first comment. Maybe I should start going by Old Joy?
