Etro’s third wheel. Traditionally worn as the “third” piece in a three-piece suit, waistcoats (or vests as they are called in North America) have now become a featured item in a smart-casual look for modern stylistos.

Sleek and edgy Italian fashion house Etro has a very stylish, wearable and verstile wool vest this season, that can really up you style quotient. It’s gray in the front and yellow in the back and features woven trim. This laid-back, but classy vest is a study in contrast and excellent for a number occasions, events and gigs.

Worn with a T-shirt and jeans, it can really up your classiness for a day out. Pair it with a funky button-down shirt and you are ready for the evening’s parties. Wear a nice button-down shirt and throw a blazer over it and you are dressed to impress with the best of them. Italian label Etro was founded in 1968 and is today still run as a family business.
