New job. New clothes.

[whatsitsname]

I'm starting a new office job on Monday. As I like to dress smartly I am thinking of buying some waistcoats (vests). Is this a good look for younger people?

Depends on what look you're going for.

Actually it is very acceptable/fashionable to wear a vest in the office, and it may also give you an added look of maturity (depending on your age) which in turn may make you more accepted around older co-workers....... i would not suggest a leather vest though.
when the vest is fully buttoned... wear a tie (careful,..only certain people can pull off wearing a bow tie . no open collars unless the vest is completely unbuttoned and allowed to move freely. no short sleeved shirts with a vest (unless you wear a coat over it and do not intend on taking it off) you can roll up your sleeves with no tie and vest open, but only then...when your tie is on/vest fully buttoned your sleeves should be down to your wrist and button (including the fore arm button),..personally i prefer a french cuff with pewter cuff-links as they seem to go with a lot.
keep your tie centered with the buttons of the vest and your belt.

now i will go erase this from my mind and bathe in bleach as i feel a little peculiar for telling you this...:willy_nilly:

I feel a vest may be too much, but that is just me. Nicely pressed decent quality slacks, button downs, and ties in good colors (neutrals, monochromatic for work purposes) seem like more than enough. Maybe I just can't picture it well enough. Congrats on the new job.

I think if it's done right, it can totally work. What would you be pairing it with?

 

[sexysadie]

Ditch the vest doll, just a simple shirt and tie will suffice......good luck with your new job. xx

Matching trousers, white/grey shirt, silver tie.

Matching trousers, white/grey shirt, silver tie.

If the clothes fit you perfectly, and you're confident, then I think this is a great look.

I agree - it is a very smart look.

 

[Mystic]

i love the vest look. i think very sexy and smart looking.

Whatsitsname....can we get a pic?

 

[All Else Failed]

Nevermind about the pic. Tell us what type of office job it is, because that is all that matters. It could mean wearing a decent button down shirt or wearing what you're think of.

It's a team leader at an estate agent.

I work with a guy who wears a vest... I think the guys without the vests look better. Just my opinion though. It might be one of those things where he doesn't pull it off as well as others, like the guys in the photo above.

 

[darkcgi]

vests are cool

It really boils down to the dress code of the office. I work in an office and we are VERY relaxed... Today I have on an AE T-shirt, jeans and sketchers.... most days it's a polo or button down with jeans boots of some kind or another... It really depends on what the employer requires and expects. I personally like the look, but I have no reason to dress that way. The days I feel like wearing my very comfy khakie carpenter pants someone usually asks why I am dressed up!
