A versatile garment is the vest. Vests originally are part of a three-piece suit. Such a suit consists of a matching combination of a blazer, a vest, and trousers. The vests from GENTS of course cannot be missing in the wardrobe of every man and woman. Whether you wear vests over a shirt or over a t-shirt, the vests from GENTS look excellent both ways. With a vest, you effortlessly create a refined, business impression. Generally, the front of vests is divided into two vertical parts that are fastened together by buttons. A distinction can be made between two types of vests. The first group has a single row of buttons and the second group is known for the double row of buttons. This latter group of vests is therefore also called double-breasted in English. When you are looking for a business style, a vest is a good option. For that reason, at GENTS you will find all kinds of vests of high quality that make a classic garment extremely suitable for the modern man and woman.

Over the years, the characteristics of vests have slightly changed. The garment still consists of two vertical parts that can be connected by buttons. One difference is, for example, the important function a vest once had for every refined gentleman. Men used to always carry pocket watches; wristwatches were far from popular. At that time, the vest had a very important function, namely as a storage place for the pocket watch.

To carry the pocket watch safely, it was worn in the pocket of a vest. The watch chain was securely fastened to a buttonhole as a precaution. Unfortunately, the wristwatch suddenly became popular after the First World War, making the pocket unnecessary. Furthermore, a vest was also regularly worn in the past to hide suspenders when a man needed them. It was considered improper to wear a belt under a vest.

From the above information, you can conclude that a vest is an indispensable part of every wardrobe. GENTS therefore has a wide range of vests, both for men and women. Nowadays, women can also add a business twist to their outfit by wearing a vest. For the modern man and woman, stylish vests can be found in the GENTS collection. So feel free to take a look and find your modern vest at GENTS.
