To Wear a Waistcoat or Not?

Hey GD,

So the time at Uni has come where I need to wear a suit for a week for a business thing we have running.

I have a suit and it also has a waistcoat, just debating if I should wear the waistcoat with the suit.
Usually associated more with older, dignified gentlemen of mean. However they seem to have been making the rounds of younger generations and seem to be coming more back in fashion.

So cut a long story short, should I wear a waistcoat with the suit?

Cheers,
Evoss

What type of business is it?

In general I would not recommend a waistcoat.

Computer business, have to design/build a system to display to Microsoft/JP Morgan.

They are a matching set. M&S Autograph Set

In general, waistcoats are badass.

If the suit was sold with it (as you have said it was) then you have answered your own question. Its intended to be worn with it.

It was an optional extra that came with it.

Yes, the white shirt it too plain and boring, unless you got a nice coloured shirt, stick with the waistcoat

Ye, I though it looked too 'offciey', if you know what I mean without it.

You seem to pull it off very well - had I not seen the pictures I'd have said no. You might try smiling though.

If anyone does comment on it though, never be negative about it. If you're going to wear it then don't apologise for it.

Its my passport pose
