WAISTCOATS are the 90s trend we never thought we would see again- but they're back, and we are here for it.
Waistcoasts have proved to be an alternative to a top, but also the must have piece to layer over your outfit.
The likes of Kendall Jenner, Kate Moss, Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, are among some of our celeb fans who have nailed the trend.
Worn on its own with trousers, or as a full suit combo there are a number available on the high street with classic waistcoat designs, oversized or longline variations on our radar.
Whether you are heading out for a shopping spree, brunch with friends, a romantic dinner, or to the office, this versatile trend will see you through summer, and the transitional season into autumn.
How to wear a women's waistcoat
When it comes to styling a women's waistcoat don't overthink it.
Take a look at Instagram, and you will see many are styling it as you would a vest top or t-shirt, paired with oversized trousers, wide leg jeans, shorts, or the matching trousers to your waistcoat.
You can even size up and wear loosely over an item underneath.
For those who are unsure about the trend, why not ease your way in with oversized versions,worn loosely over a cami top, vest, or shirt, or for something a little more sultry try a bralette.
