if you worry about what others think, you’re pretty much stuffed in this life. Wear what you want and be happy and confident in your own self image. Its a much healthier approach to life.
Well I bought a Next suit pursuant to the 1920s wedding, about which there was another thread, and I rather like it. The waistcoat fits, and looks good in a way, but I can’t imagine wearing one to work. And no, I’m not a snooker player sadly.
Next had some cracking retro style suits including a really nice green flannel one, but not in my fit 🙁 Jacket looked ok but the trousers ridiculous.
Wear what you like but personally I would only wear one as part of a 3 piece. I can’t stand the Mumford and sons look and as for the brightly coloured ‘hey look at me I’m creative/wacky/an individual ones? They should be reserved for comic conventions and those selling bongs at craft fairs.
I love a waistcoat and used to only wear three piece suits but my rapidly aging face and receding hairline has ravaged my once youthful Shakin’ Stevensesque appearance and has instead left me with an unfortunate resemblance to Ray Reardon which means I can’t ever wear a waistcoat again
Best as part of 3pce suit – with albert chain and half hunter; if there’s a gap between bottom of waistcoat and trouser waistband, that’s not a good look – either or both don’t fit properly.
Some separate waistcoats are ok – but as mrsmith ^^^ avoid the creative/whacky.
I’ve just bought my first one and, in true STW style, I’ve had it custom made from local materials at eye watering expense, and will probably only wear it once.
I did the Distinguished Gentleman’s motorcycle ride last summer so got a Tweed one for that. I still wear it, and with scrotty jeans too.
The juxtaposition is a delight to behold.
No. I have a real one I used when I was a student, and I spent the whole evening waiting for the point I could untie it so it would dangle.
Might look even more like a snooker player though. Maybe as a double meta-joke I could bring a snooker cue and sit staring intently at the table for hours.
