OK, I've had it with the vest.
I bought a couple of three-piece suits last year, thinking that I was so retro, wearing old-fashioned fuddy-duddy clothes which, naturally, would make for a wonderful ironic contrast with my generally youthful appearance.
And now the vest is everywhere. Thanks to our friends in the mass retail industry, it is being worn in countless "business upstairs, party downstairs" outfits, over formal shirts with ties and inevitably paired with jeans, with nary a matching jacket or formal pants in sight. Or, even worse, if that is possible, over pop-collar polos or t-shirts.
As the vest has become The Casual Fashion Accessory of the Month, it is with some sadness that I retire my vests, and impress my three-piece suits into two-piece service, at least until the vest goes out of fashion, which I am hoping will occur sometime later this year.
