When waistcoats first began to surge in popularity I wasn’t at all sure how to wear this trend, but it’s become one of my favourites. Unlike blazers which can be a bit too thick to wear in the heat, a waistcoat can often be much lighter and the sleeveless design means they can be worn as a top in their own right.
This is the most fashionable way to style them right now, but I’m also fond of layering mine over T-shirts for more coverage. For a smart-casual outfit, ditch the matching trousers and go for something cooler and more casual - like Helen Skelton just did.
