The Waistcoat - A trending item that I've fallen for...

If you have been here a while you will know that I am not a big follower of trends. Personal style and not needing to keep up with the latest trends are what I’m truly an advocate of. The main thing to always remember with trends is to think whether they fit with your style and whether you would buy it if it wasn’t a current trend. The waistcoat trend has caught my eye because it fits into my classic style personality and is such a great item to wear with skirts, trousers, jeans, shorts. It’s something I would be happy to continue wearing long after it has lost its trending status.

I have spotted lots of great options over the last month or so when I have been Personal Shopping with clients and whatever your body shape there are different necklines and lengths to suit you.

Where to buy?

There are lots of options at different price points linked here

If you are able to get into store there are also some great pieces available at Marks and Spencer.

Seen this trend before?

Like most trends, the waistcoat is a look that we have seen before. I thought it would be fun to share some images from the 90s that you might remember…
