How to wear a vest coat
A long vest coat layers over a fine knit, a shirt and a slim long sleeve dress, and adds a strong line to tailoring. For full sleeves, see wool and cashmere coats and trench coats.
Vest Coats: FAQs
What is a vest coat?
A vest coat is a sleeveless coat, usually long, worn over knitwear, shirts and dresses. It adds a strong vertical line without the bulk of sleeves.
What do you wear under a vest coat?
A fine knit, a crisp shirt and a long sleeve dress all work, and a turtleneck in a matching colour looks most polished.
Is a vest coat warm?
A vest coat keeps the body warm but not the arms, so it is best for the seasons in between and indoors. Fur and shearling gilets are the warmest.
What is the difference between a vest coat and a gilet?
A gilet is usually shorter and often padded and fur, while a vest coat is longer and tailored, closer to a sleeveless overcoat.
Can you wear a vest coat to the office?
Yes. A tailored long vest over a shirt and trousers is smart enough for most offices.
How should a vest coat fit?
The armholes should be deep enough for a knit underneath, and the shoulders should sit at your shoulder line.
