Let’s quickly take a peek into the history of vests which are also called as ‘waistcoats’ in the US and Canada. Vests were invented much before the 17th Century as Theatre-garments by artists. However, they were popularized more during the 17th Century by the English king Charles II who decided to redefine the then fashion standards with a sleeveless overlay. Gradually, this trend spread to the elite society and was even made a part of the traditional 3 piece suit.

Today, Vests come in different colors, materials and sizes to suit different body types and purposes. Check out this category to learn about the latest types of Vests for men and women for formal, semi-formal and casual settings.
