Ladies Waistcoats

How should a ladies' tweed waistcoat fit?

A ladies tweed waistcoat should fit close to the body without restricting movement. A waistcoat is usually worn underneath a jacket and it's very important it fits well so the intended formality is maintained. The seam located on the shoulders of the garment should sit on the wearers shoulders and the hem should fall just below the waist.

Can I wear a ladies' waistcoat instead of a jacket?

Yes, a well-cut ladies' tweed waistcoat can absolutely stand in for a jacket, particularly in warmer months or for more relaxed occasions. Worn over a shirt or roll-neck, it provides structure and polish without the weight or formality of a full jacket.

How do I style a ladies waistcoat for a casual look?

Waistcoats are a more formal garment, not only does it have a more formal history, it also gives the wearer a very polished look. However, it can be worn for casual occasion with an open-button liberty shirt and some moleskin/corduroy jeans.
