I'd have to wear a blazer over it. I believe there is a velvet jacket to match. But it would be practical for dancing. I always get hot so being able to ditch the jacket is working for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-black-menswear-button-vest-to-wear-under-a-blazer#post-1851803 Sun, 08 Oct 2017 21:28:55 +0000 unfrumped 1851803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live that gray velvet vets. I have to style it over a blouse or thin turtleneck, though.<br /> The whole outfit LOOKS fun, but seems so seasonally confused as shown. It’s like a velvet cocktail jumpsuit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-black-menswear-button-vest-to-wear-under-a-blazer#post-1851802 Sun, 08 Oct 2017 21:26:48 +0000 gryffin 1851802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Cat - yes, I love all the ways you wear waistcoats!! &nbsp;Most of the women's vest, if they are classic button high. &nbsp;The stance is very important. &nbsp;I do have a lace trim cami I can wear underneath but I prefer it not to show. &nbsp;I'm hoping with the blazer trend we see more menswear looks like vests to style them with. &nbsp;Good luck on the hunt. &nbsp;I hope you find something wonderful!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-black-menswear-button-vest-to-wear-under-a-blazer#post-1851777 Sun, 08 Oct 2017 19:00:53 +0000 The Cat 1851777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gryffin, I love the look of the two you have found.</p> <p>I wore vests/waistcoats a lot in the 70s and 80s and would really like to do it again. I wore mine with anything from dresses to jeans. Don't think I ever wore them as tops under blazers, but I would like to try. I know I don't feel and look great in V-necklines, but simply wearing a visible round-neck necklace would help. </p> <p>L'Abeille, a great reminder! I had almost forgotten that in the old days I actually bought some of mine in the men's department, and at very reasonable prices (because they just wanted to get rid of the smallest ones, I think). The style of vests/waistcoats I like have been absent in the ladies' departments for years, but now I am going to take a close look at the men's soon.</p> <p>Thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-black-menswear-button-vest-to-wear-under-a-blazer#post-1851733 Sun, 08 Oct 2017 16:12:24 +0000 gryffin 1851733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IKR Bijou - it's the classic "banker's" vest in a feminine fabric. &nbsp;Very fitted and sexy on it's own or classic but fun over a top with or without a blazer. &nbsp;I think they would be very versatile. &nbsp;Like belts, I would not mind a small capsule of waistcoats if I could find the right ones. &nbsp;I would absolutely wear them with jeans or dress wear. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-black-menswear-button-vest-to-wear-under-a-blazer#post-1851661 Sun, 08 Oct 2017 12:36:18 +0000 Bijou 1851661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea, I love the two you have selected. I especially love the fit of the D&amp;G vest (although not the price). This will have wardrobe longevity, so well worth waiting for "the one". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-black-menswear-button-vest-to-wear-under-a-blazer#post-1851551 Sun, 08 Oct 2017 00:46:17 +0000 gryffin 1851551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge - thank you so much!! &nbsp;I didn't see any of these options. &nbsp;I like the leather RZ vest. &nbsp;I had thought of suede but as you know it's all hard to find right now. &nbsp;Thank you for taking so much trouble and time to find so many options!! &nbsp;You are always so kind and AMAZING that way!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-black-menswear-button-vest-to-wear-under-a-blazer#post-1851391 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 12:21:35 +0000 Inge 1851391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: I didn't have time to have a look right now, but Yoox might be worth checking out too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-black-menswear-button-vest-to-wear-under-a-blazer#post-1851390 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 12:20:44 +0000 Inge 1851390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too love the grey velvet one, Gryffin, and the lace vest is beautiful too!</p> <p>I'm seeing a lot of longer-length vests -which makes sense as they are very much on trend - and not that many "waistcoats", but I was also thinking more options might become available a little closer to the holiday season.</p> <p>A few more options:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.theoutnet.com/en-US/Shop/Product/717604?cm_mmc=LinkshareUS-_-J84DHJLQkR4-_-Custom-_-LinkBuilder&amp;siteID=J84DHJLQkR4-2ZzE34MbcZGCB4xOqqx5oQ&amp;ShopStyle+%28POPSUGAR%29=ShopStyle+%28POPSUGAR%29">https://www.theoutnet.com/en-U.....tom-_-Link</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.c21stores.com/products/waistcoat-7?CAWELAID=500002840002101878&amp;irgwc=1&amp;utm_term=263754&amp;cm_mmc=ImpactRadius-_-ShopStyle%20Inc.-_-PRODUCT_CATALOG-_-C21%20Datafeed%20Ad&amp;utm_campaign=C21%20Datafeed%20Ad&amp;utm_content=PRODUCT_CATALOG&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_source=ImpactRadius">https://www.c21stores.com/prod.....;utm_term=</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.c21stores.com/products/lthr-vst?CAWELAID=500002840001782549&amp;irgwc=1&amp;utm_term=263754&amp;cm_mmc=ImpactRadius-_-ShopStyle%20Inc.-_-PRODUCT_CATALOG-_-C21%20Datafeed%20Ad&amp;utm_campaign=C21%20Datafeed%20Ad&amp;utm_content=PRODUCT_CATALOG&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_source=ImpactRadius">https://www.c21stores.com/prod.....m_term=263</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.c21stores.com/products/f-top-10?color=Jet+Black">https://www.c21stores.com/prod.....=Jet+Black</a></p> <p>(Ann Demeulemeester has several interesting options, but they are expensive full price-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-black-menswear-button-vest-to-wear-under-a-blazer#post-1851217 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 18:39:57 +0000 gryffin 1851217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummlila - thank you!! &nbsp;You always have exquisite taste. &nbsp;Love how you've been wearing your blazers lately!! &nbsp;Swoon!<br />L'Abeille - I was thinking of checking mens formal wear options. &nbsp;A lot of the size even the XS is a 36" chest and I'm 34.5". &nbsp;I know there is usually adjustment in the back. &nbsp;Also I do love the women's vest when the "fabric" is front and back. &nbsp;Men's are usually silk. &nbsp;But I'm keep that in mind. &nbsp;Also have to be careful of stance and where it hits. &nbsp;But great for you if the sizing works. &nbsp;Some really gorgeous waistcoats. &nbsp;Like "Four Weddings and a Funeral" gorgeous!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-black-menswear-button-vest-to-wear-under-a-blazer#post-1851183 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 16:51:42 +0000 L'Abeille 1851183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these and I just buy menswear ones. Much better selection.</p> <p>I am not busty so they button up just fine but if you are more hourglassy you can leave top and if you wish bottom buttons unbuttoned, which has menswear precedent anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-black-menswear-button-vest-to-wear-under-a-blazer#post-1851177 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 16:44:34 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1851177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that grey velvet one a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-black-menswear-button-vest-to-wear-under-a-blazer#post-1851168 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 16:06:15 +0000 gryffin 1851168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle - yes I am open to bling and texture.&nbsp; Even color with black.&nbsp; I think you know exactly what I have in mind.&nbsp; Otherwise it's too corporate for the purpose.&nbsp; Thanks for looking out!!&nbsp; Appreciated!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-black-menswear-button-vest-to-wear-under-a-blazer#post-1851164 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 15:43:36 +0000 Thistle 1851164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun idea!&nbsp;<br />Would you be okay if it had a little bling on it?
