Let's start off with odd vest history. It has been around since the 1800s and it was always an elegant way to add color to your outfit and to stand out. Often, they had artistic buttons and intricate detailing. Let's say you have two jackets and one suit in your wardrobe; adding another jacket gives you another outfit instead, if you take the same money and invest in three odd vests, let's say in a red one, burgundy, maybe blue and green, all of a sudden you can create 27 outfits. 01:52 Lighter Colored Odd Vests They're really easy to combine with a darker suit or darker garments simply because they add this contrast. Ideally, you don't want the vest to be the same color as your shirt, otherwise, it all blends in. In terms of material, I like a white or off-white velvet or mole or doeskin, simply because it's warm in the winter, it adds an extra layer, and it looks magnificent with any kind of dark suits whether it's gray, blue, or brown. Alternatively, a buff waistcoat or a light gray waistcoat looks really dapper as well, it also is appropriate for business suits, as well as formal morning wear. The most important thing when wearing a vest is that you never combine it with a belt. Why? you might wonder. It adds a little layer underneath your vest and makes it gap between the pants and the vest and it looks cheap and odd, therefore, either go with side adjusters on your pants or with suspenders but never a belt. When you start, I suggest to go with solid colored vests for business suits such as gray, maybe buff, light blue, or something darker. 06:41 Tartan Vest It has its origins in Scotland and one of the most popular fabrics is probably the Black Watch tartan. Some people like to pair them during holidays maybe with a velvet jacket and I suggest to only combine bold waistcoats like that with solid jackets, otherwise, it's an overload of patterns and it's not flattering. 07:06 Tattersall Waistcoats It has basically small cheques or mini window panes in two different colors, on a lighter background such as pastel yellow, buff, or sometimes even off-white. Most of the time, it comes in basic colors such as green, yellow, blue, or red, for the cheques and it's a staple that's very bold but because it's classic you can wear it without a problem. 08:36 Knit Vest It's warm, it's as comfortable as a sweater and maybe even more so because it doesn't have sleeves, and you can easily take it on or off, and it a very casual character. Another popular sweater vest pattern is the fair isle pattern. It was popularized by the prince of wales and it works so well because it uses lots of different colors to create that pattern that is so typical for that sweater or for the vest. 09:47 Where should you buy your waistcoats? So the easiest route for you will be to go custom. I've also had good luck finding them at thrift stores because back in the day, people would wear waistcoats a lot more especially odd vests. At the end of the day, I think every man should have at least five waistcoats in his arsenal because the more of them you have, the easier it will be to combine different outfits that look unique.
