Men's XXL Waistcoats – Style & Etiquette Rules to Follow (&
Mistakes Avoid)
Waistcoats have long since been a timeless part of men's formal wear. This guide will show you the essential style rules to follow and the common mistakes to avoid. Plus, we'll answer some key questions about waistcoat fashion.
Are Waistcoats in Style in 2024?
Yes, waistcoats are still in style in 2024. Classic style is timeless for a reason! It's sleek, simple, and brings a sense of pride and polish to our appearance. The waistcoat is a key part of the men's three-piece suit, which is standard attire for many formal occasions. In recent years, traditional styles have made a strong comeback, and waistcoats are a great way to add refinement to any outfit. Whether worn in a classic three-piece suit or paired with a smart-casual look, a well-fitted waistcoat always elevates your style and sophistication.
Style Rules to Follow
Fit is Key
When choosing a waistcoat, fit is the most important thing to consider. You don't want it to be too tight or too loose. The waistcoat should fit snugly around your torso but still leave room to move. Should I size up or down for a waistcoat? It's best to choose your true size. If you're between sizes, it’s better to size up slightly, as you can always have it tailored for a perfect fit.
Button Etiquette
One of the golden rules of wearing a waistcoat is to leave the bottom button undone. This gives you a little extra room and helps the waistcoat sit naturally. Do you unbutton a waistcoat when you sit down? No, waistcoats are designed to stay buttoned (except for the bottom button), even when sitting.
Should the Waistcoat Match Trousers or Jacket?
Should the waistcoat match your trousers or jacket? It's a good idea for the waistcoat to complement either the jacket or the trousers. In formal settings, a matching three-piece suit is always a safe choice. For a more casual look, you can mix textures and colours. Just make sure the pieces don’t clash.
Mistakes to Avoid
Avoid Baggy or Tight Waistcoats
An ill-fitting waistcoat can ruin your look. A baggy waistcoat will make you look unpolished, while a tight one can be uncomfortable and restricting. The goal is to have a fit that skims the body without pulling at the buttons or hanging loose.
Stay Clear of Loud Patterns
When it comes to waistcoats for XXL sizes, less is more. Flashy or oversized patterns can overwhelm your frame. It's best to stick to solid colours or subtle textures like herringbone or tweed.
Don’t Over-Layer
Be careful not to add too many layers when wearing a waistcoat. Too much bulk can make you feel uncomfortable and look larger than you are. Choose lightweight fabrics if you’re adding more layers, like a jacket.
What to Wear Instead of a Waistcoat?
If a waistcoat doesn’t suit your style or the occasion, there are other options. A classic two piece suit is generally a suitable option for most formal events, it's fine to leave out the waistcoat. A suit jacket, trousers, shirt, and tie is a smart look suitable for many formal occasions. Some men also like to wear suspenders, which is another great way to accessories if you feel your outfit needs something more, without the addition of a waistcoat.
Wear your Waistcoat with Confidence
By choosing the correct size, avoiding a few common mistakes and following some simple, style and etiquette rules, you can create a polished, suave look for your next formal occasion. Whether waistcoats are your go-to piece or an new style choice, they remain a timeless option.
