Spring: Fresh & Cheerful

Spring is the season of renewal. The trees are growing leaves again, flowers are starting to bloom and the sun is showing itself more often. This is the perfect time to combine your waistcoat with lighter fabrics and colors.

Hint: Go for a light gray or beige waistcoat and combine it with a fresh white shirt. Roll up your sleeves and add a pair of light jeans or chinos. Complete the look with loafers or white sneakers for a casual, yet stylish look.

Summer: Cool & Casual

Summer calls for comfortable and airy clothing. Fortunately, a vest can also be worn during the warmer months!

Hint: Choose a waistcoat made of a light fabric such as linen. Combine it with a light shirt and shorts for a summer look. Sandals or espadrilles complete your outfit. And don't forget your sunglasses!

Autumn: Warm & Layered

Fall is the season of layers. Temperatures are starting to drop, but that doesn't mean you have to put your vest aside. On the contrary!

Hint: Wear your vest over a checked shirt or a thin sweater. Add dark jeans or corduroy pants and complete your look with sturdy boots. A scarf in a complementary color can also be a nice addition.

Winter: Stylish & Warm

Winter can be cold and bleak, but that doesn't mean you have to compromise on style. A waistcoat can give you that little bit of extra warmth without sacrificing style.

Hint: Go for a thicker, woolen waistcoat. Wear it over a long-sleeved shirt or turtleneck. Combine with a winter coat, dark pants and sturdy shoes or boots. A hat and gloves complete your winter look.

Why choose a second-hand or vintage waistcoat?
