Vests or waistcoats in some way, shape or form have been a part of men’s wardrobes for a long time. Whether they resemble the Jerkin’s of the 1600’s or the regency waistcoats as seen in Bridgerton they have been an essential part of the classic wardrobe. Oh wait hold on I’ve gotta do something for the youtube algorithm Bridgerton Bridgerton Bridgerton Bridgerton. (It’s trending what can I say).

Once you start looking at early 20th century fashion, waistcoats fall into two categories: vests as part of a three piece suit which use the same fabric and pattern as the jacket and trousers and “odd vests” that were sold on their own. The style of waistcoats were quite diverse and made all manner of fabrics and patterns for each season. From Linen and gabardine waistcoats in shades of creams and tan for summer to wool and corduroy waistcoats in navy’s, grey and browns. Some styles were attributed to country living and others to city living. In many traditional outfits waistcoats are essential to the complete look. For instance: in white tie a white waistcoat is essential to the completion of the outfit. However beyond a few specific examples when styling a waistcoat the sky is the limit and the integration of this item in ones wardrobe will multiply the amount of outfit combinations significantly.


ABOUT DANDY WELLINGTON
Dandy Wellington is a bandleader, entertainer, event producer, and creative consultant, born-and-raised in Harlem, New York. Influenced by the style and skill of classic entertainers of the past but with his feet planted in the present, it’s no surprise that this Tisch grad has made a name for himself across the globe. From producing stylish events all over New York to performances in St. Petersburg, London, and Sydney, Dandy solidifies himself as not only an impeccably dressed man-about-town, but a bonafide man-of-the-world.

Boasting an impressive and eclectic list of clients that includes the likes of Pomelatto, Bergdorf Goodman, RewardStyle, and the National Museum of African Art, Dandy puts his uniquely well-dressed stamp on everything from his events to his music. Whether he’s organizing a dinner party at Norwood Club or crooning with his jazz band at The Rainbow Room, the crowd is well-coiffed and the scenery is elegant.

Dandy’s signature panache and eye for detail has earned him features in The New York Times, Vogue Magazine, and various other outlets renowned for their taste and sophistication. Mr. Wellington epitomizes the undeniable cool of the Jazz Age, while also bringing a progressive perspective befitting of the ever-changing landscape of our modern lifestyle. His appreciation for the swinging big bands, elegant parties, and beautifully tailored clothing of the 1920’s/30’s, paired with his contemporary edge, make him a certifiable renaissance man and a true modern dandy.
