I wear them now and then as they suit my tomboy style. Even if they are not trending, they are flattering and add personality to my outfits. I do spend some time finding the right top in my wardrobe that will work best with the different necklines and stances – I like a relaxed look. I particularly love them with slouchy, tapered dressy slacks and cropped or rolled-up jeans with booties. </p> <p>Looking forward to looking at your styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1054759 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:26:08 +0000 Ingunn 1054759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you're right. Classic and a versatile piece. Mine is too large, so I'll take it in a little before wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1054497 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:30:16 +0000 redrose 1054497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is a classic black pinstripe vest bought from H &amp; M last winter, I don't see any online right now but worth checking the stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1054413 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:21:23 +0000 Astrid 1054413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say they're a classic. Probably not on trend per se, because I haven't seen many in the stores for some time. I don't have one that fits at the moment, but I'm going to snap up the next affordable well fitting one I come across. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1054409 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:19:01 +0000 rachylou 1054409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I don't think <i>waistcoats</i> are on trend, although menswear is. That said, you really can't go wrong with one. They're classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1054365 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:51:59 +0000 redrose 1054365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them myself, I think they are classic but I like them styled with a Victorian/Steampumk vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052835 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 00:48:33 +0000 unfrumped 1052835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love tailored vests. Love vest for warmth, and it adds structure when I am not wearing my own jackets. <br />Bought a linen one, ancient I think, at consignment but have not worn it yet. Fit and length is sometimes an issue.<br />I'd like to figure out the best way for me to wear them now--I used to wear with trousers and pencil skirts years ago, but somehow think I'd need to do some kind of juxtaposing so as not to look Annie Hall or dated, at my age. <br />I'll be interested in others' ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052623 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:36:40 +0000 Glory 1052623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052618 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:35:14 +0000 Amy 1052618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're a classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052608 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:29:54 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1052608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If wearing a menswear vest is wrong, I don't want to be right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052587 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:05:05 +0000 Niefern 1052587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if they are on trend or not, but I know I love them and it is an item that has been on my wishlist for some time now. I really want one.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052581 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:00:00 +0000 Janet 1052581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're pretty classic. I have one from Anne Fontaine -- it's menswear inspired (black pinstripe) but with a twist -- a sort of ruffled layered pocket detail. I don't wear it often, but I&nbsp;plan to keep it for ages. :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052579 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:52:43 +0000 Vicki 1052579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, to what Thistle said, and I own two menswear vests in navy and navy pinstripe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052569 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:43:09 +0000 Aziraphale 1052569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aaargh, thrifted. Darnit. &nbsp;But thanks for replying!</p> <p>:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052567 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:41:54 +0000 Ingunn 1052567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I definitely agree with you Thistle&nbsp;- it is not a big deal to be on trend as long as it fits with my style, and a menswear inspired vest is a classic piece that I hope to wear with some confidence.&nbsp;</p> <p>Aziraphale - I thrifted it, so it's not new, obviously. I don't have a link, sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052559 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:32:37 +0000 Aziraphale 1052559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they ever go out of style. &nbsp;Do you mind me asking if you have a link? &nbsp;I tried to find it on the website, but I can only see&nbsp;waistcoats for actual men -- not menswear-inspired ones&nbsp;for women. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052533 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:06:36 +0000 Thistle 1052533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if it is on trend, but I think they can be pretty classic and would fit in wellw ith your style. That is more important,&nbsp;I think, than being on trend&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052528 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:04:19 +0000 nancylee 1052528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if they're super on trend, but there is a classic element to a vest that never goes out of style IMO. &nbsp;And I can see it working beautifully as a fun element in your wardrobe, Ingunn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052527 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:01:52 +0000 Ingunn 1052527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay - a little love for a menswear vest is all I need to feel that I'm on track here. Thanks for providing that :)&nbsp;I think it is a tad too big for me, but it is an easy alteration to take it in in the side seams. I'll post pics tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052519 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:53:12 +0000 celia 1052519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they are on trend but personally I find that it is always the item that if you see other person wearing it you think it was extremely smart of them.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052489 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:34:02 +0000 Suz 1052489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them. I want one, too. On trend? Not sure, but it's not passé.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052487 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:32:52 +0000 Day Vies 1052487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure but I think it's a great versatile piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052486 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:32:39 +0000 Anonymous 1052486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I need to find some. My vest collection is deficient. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-menswear-vests-still-on-trend#post-1052483 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:30:13 +0000 Ingunn 1052483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found a nice charcoal grey pinstriped menswear inspired&nbsp;vest (waistcoat) today from J Crew. I know it's a classic piece, but do you think it is on trend?</p>
