Men's Waistcoats FAQs

How should I wear a men’s waistcoat?

For formal occasions, layer a men’s waistcoat over a shirt and under a matching jacket. A waistcoat worn without a jacket and paired with chinos or dark jeans gives a more relaxed appearance. Always fasten all the buttons except the bottom one, a traditional detail that keeps the look balanced. Our men’s waistcoats are designed to coordinate across our suit collection and add refinement to any outfit, whether worn as part of a suit or as a separate item.

How should a waistcoat fit?

A well-fitted men’s waistcoat should sit close to the body while allowing comfortable movement. The shoulders must lie flat, with no pulling or gaping, and the length should just cover the trouser waistband to create a clean line. Your waistcoat should follow a straight fit through the chest and waist, enhancing your shape without feeling restrictive. When worn properly, a waistcoat brings structure and definition to tailoring, completing a look that’s sharp yet relaxed.

Should waistcoats be the same size as jackets?

Not necessarily. Waistcoats often fit slightly closer to the body than jackets, so you may need to size down depending on the cut and fabric. The goal is a trim, streamlined fit that sits comfortably under your jacket without causing it to pull. Trying both pieces together ensures the proportions feel balanced and well tailored.
