Vests are known to give our arms more freedom of movement and keep our core warm. When its cold season, vests serve as a great mid-layer between a long sleeved base layer and your outer jacket. Waistcoats provide both a sense of depth and formality to an outfit. Both these garments are popular and are different in the sense that a vest is an informal garment that can be worn without anything underneath it whilst a waistcoat is a formal garment that is usually worn over a shirt, together with a necktie. Browse through this category for various vests and waistcoats available in Zambian stores.
Waistcoat is always worn over a formal shirt and with a full suit. It features a number of buttons and is either single-breasted or a double-breasted. Vest, on the other hand, can be worn over button down shirts or without anything underneath. A waistcoat is a sleeveless piece of clothing with buttons that people usually wear over a shirt.

Lighter waistcoat options, like those made from linen/wool blends or cotton can be worn without a jacket and still look amazing. Pair them with a long-sleeve single cuff shirt and a pair of chinos or denim jeans.
Any waistcoat must be paired with a smart, collared shirt underneath. Whether it's plain, checked or striped is up to you but anything else makes the waistcoat look sloppy, which it is not! You should also only wear dark wash straight leg jeans with any waistcoat as light wash jeans look far too casual.
Vests are still fashionable for 2022. All, but fur vests, of course. Even so, the vest trend is in decline, so you might pass on adding another vest into your shopping cart the next time.
A vest is perfect in such cases because they give your arms more freedom of movement and keep your core warm. When temperatures are much colder, vests serve as a great mid-layer between a long sleeved base layer and your outer jacket, and it also provides you with the most versatility.
The word vest comes from the French word 'veste' which means jacket, sport coat, the Latin word vestis and the Italian word vesta which means a robe or a gown.
As we mentioned above, a vest is the third piece of a man's three-piece suit. Your country may know it as a waistcoat. However, it can be styled differently to create a more casual and alluring look by adding a sleeveless button-up garment that goes over your dress shirt but beneath your jacket.
