I thought Jkissi's WAYWT looked good, but it might be hard to pull of if you're not Jkissi.

Also, if you're dead-set on going with this, I recommend pants with a mid to high rise. It usually looks kind of odd having a massive gap between the bottom of your vest and your waistline.

How about vests that don't look like they're an orphan from a 3-piece suit?

I bought this one from MofM last Spring that I like pretty well....

BB1 has it ^

Dont be the guy wearing a vest man, dont do it

I've always felt that Ann D has the casual vest locked down, though her aesthetic isn't exactly "casual" per say.

Odd vests without a suit will always look marsupialed.

You can try a sweater vest or a sweater vest cardigan. Make sure the texture is playful/interesting.

No, I think you're just an idiot.

I've always wanted a tweed vest to wear with knit ties and stuff. The rough texture just screams late fall. I just don't want to end up looking like...

I don't understand the phobia toward "affectedness".

And can we stop pairing everything with jeans for just one second? A good vest would look good with some wool trousers, keep your silhouette sharp and clean. Wearing a vest and shirt and tie and then putting on pants in the same cut and fabric 99% of the population is wearing isn't being "edgy" or "nonchalant", it's usually just dumb. JKissi gets a pass because he's very tall and very good looking and has a really good eye for shapes and textures and colors.

Ha ha "orientals". That's the problem with many occidentals lol, you can't tell if they're joking or just complete fuckups.

[Master Milano]

whats the general opinion on down vests that are made of wool similar to the ones posted above that don't look orphaned.

They look like they might work against a knit underneath.

 

[dsmolken]

I think this works better on meatier people with thick shoulders.

 

[Razele]

I think it never works and your just playin into the GQ semi-pro tastemaster approach to style

There's really no way of pulling off an odd vest without looking douchy.
