Waistcoat (Vest) Game

Waistcoat (Vest) Game

Personally I despise wearing a full blown suit, and I'm trying to think of outfits that clearly demonstrate HV without me having to go as formal or tedious as a suit. So something like this:

Besides in crowded ass nightclubs a suit just makes you sweaty. Ick.
Thoughts guys?

A vest on its own makes you look like a waiter.

You want to know the only thing you can assume about a broken down old man? It's that he's a survivor.

I might mistake you for my waiter. Go with the suit.

Hey they are definitely "in" with hipsters. Add a pork pie hat and you're good to go.

If only you knew how bad things really are.

It's often difficult to make most vests look good and not seem out of place.

Obviously variations like a sweater vest can be easier to dress up/down.

And in terms of vest with a 3 piece suit, overkill in most places you'd find yourself gaming.

Regular suit or my preference, suit without tie, collar open, and pocket square.

If you're trying to dress up a look without full suit or getting too hot/sweaty, I'd say your time is better in invested in researching diff. fabrics and colour combos of shirts and blazers/sportcoats.

Then you can adapt to different climates on the fly, compared to someone putting on/taking off a vest midway through an evening.

Because it's so damn hot down in South Africa (it's summer down here), I experimented with wearing a waistcoat instead of the full on suit.

I've had good reactions to it and people generally treat me better with it than without it, so it works well for me.

I think as with any style issue, the only way to figure out if it works for you is to be brave enough to try it for a month and see what people's reactions are. I think for some people if they wear a waistcoat they will turn people off, but other people can rock it.

I think a lot also depends on how you carry yourself with the waistcoat on. If you act like a waiter, then yes people will treat you like a waiter. I have not had this problem, if anything people treat me better and with more respect.

You really won't know how a waistcoat works for you until you try it.

Don't wear ordinary black vest like a waiter, go with a brown leather vest or something like that.

Exactly.

If people are confusing you for a waiter, your doing it wrong. Your sense of style is too basic and you are probably acting more reserved.

I rock a vest a lot when I wear a suit because I like to take the suit jacket off and think just a tie and dress shirt looks lame.

Stylish haircut (I fauxhawk), slim fit purple dress shirt, slim tie loosened up, with a grey vest, yellow square with purple dots/fill design, few days of unshaven stubble = pimp look.

Only people that will say you look like a waiter are punk haters trying to passively aggressively disrespect you. Just tell them "your welcome" and then smile at their chick.

God'll prolly have me on some real strict shit
