Let’s talk waistcoats

Ok, so a waistcoat is a way to update your look in order to eventually meet autumn. I have two, they are short and of course now the trend is for long ones… I haven’t used mine in what? ten, fifteen years? I can’t remember. I have always kept them though. Perhaps I will make some use of them this year.

Anyway, as I said in the previous post, it is only a passing trend, as a consequence I wouldn’t overdo it. That’s why I am going to show you some I found from Zara.

 

 

 

There’s also this cutie:

Now you need a gorgeous georgette bow blouse 5.1.19c.17or a crisp white shirt. For the bottom I especially like to go long, like the waistcoat. A mid calf length would be nice.

Otherwise, jeans are always ok, perhaps better the boyfriend cut, or a pair of wide trousers. Cropped wide ones would be rather nice.  I suppose culottes could be appropriate too, even if I am not really that fond of them.

Shoes: heels, brogues and later on ankle boots.

A very chic item: the long waistcoat

Sooo chic.

I love it worn on a simple t-shirt and matching skirt like in the photo. All one colour. One looks cool, polished, elegant (not dressy elegant), trendy, minimal and so forth.

Goes with anything, trousers, skirts, dresses, denim, flats, heels.

What else can I say?!
