The History of the Waistcoat Part 3
best custom tailor in chiang mai
After 1850, this style changed somewhat and towards the
end of the century, with the arrival of portly Edward VII, the
waistcoat began to expand a
little to suit the shape of its
owner.
In the 20th century, the prevalence of the
waistcoat and its
significance as a status symbol began to wane. It became a much more functional
item to round off a formal
three-piece suit, its use as a place to store a snazzy pocket watch also
falling by the wayside as the wristwatch came into its own.
Today, aside from persisting in more formal outfits, waistcoats have also taken
on a life of their own in certain youth subcultures, being worn by indie kids or
in steampunk circles, sometimes just with
T-shirts or in the antithesis of
their formal roots, sometimes even on their own.
