Mens Waistcoats [The Rule in 2019?!]

Mens waistcoats are an interesting. Once a very popular item of mens clothing, now something very few men have in their wardrobes. However one thing that doesn't change is the great sense of style it brings to the wearer. Its probably fair to say that Suspenders (braces) are quite similar to mens waistcoats when it comes to their place in mens style. Can these two items also share the same place when it comes to our outfit? Lets discuss it.

Love the discussion. I completely agree that wearing braces (or a belt) is unnecessary if your pants are fitted so you don’t need them.
Regarding the old rules for combining braces, belt, and/or waistcoats, you were both right. In the past, braces were purely functional and weren’t supposed to be seen except in the most casual situations. The purpose of the waistcoat is to cover the waistline of the trousers and the button straps of the braces. Shirts were considered undergarments.
When belts came in, they were considered stylish, so you did not wear a waistcoat to cover them - and, since they fulfilled the same function as the braces, you didn’t wear both. (There were exceptions for specific functions like braces that supported heavy tool belts to keep the weight off the hips.)
Regarding “esquire,” many others have commented on how it’s used in the U.S. In is also an unofficial (usually self claimed) title for an untitled gentleman.

If ur wearing pleated trouser, always put on ur braces. It'll make your trouser drape better & helps those pleats to stay sharp as razor blades all day long.

Braces or suspenders are cool. But don't think I have a need or would wear them.

[@sheldon6531]

What are your thoughts on matching waist coat lapels to jacket lapels? If one is pique, should they both be pique?

[@prateekjoinwal5956]

Can one wear a lapel pin on one's waistcoat/vest, even when it has no 'lapel' as such?
