Important Characteristics of The Waistcoats

 

If you are choosing an unpaired vest for yourself then there are a couple of things you should pay attention to:
 

  1. Vest length: It is very important to choose the right vest length according to your height. As a rule, the vest should always cover the waistband of the trousers but, it all depends upon your height, body length, and pants. Also, keep in mind that many men do not button the bottom button of the vest. So, if you want to do the same then your vest should be long enough so that the shirt will not be visible.
  2. Wide Armholes: Unlike a jacket, it is undesirable to have narrow armholes on the vest, because it has no sleeves. Large armholes are better for waistcoats, so they will not restrict the movement of your hands.
  3. Do not wear a belt: When you wear a vest, do not wear a belt, prefer suspenders, because the belt will always bulge out, which looks far from elegant and makes you fuller.
