Oversized Vests: The Unapologetic Expression of Desperation

In the world of fashion, there are some things that just don't make sense. Like the oversized vest. A garment that says, "I'm a man of substance, I have a lot to hide."

History of the Oversized Vest

In the 19th century, the oversized vest was a staple of the gentleman's wardrobe. A symbol of status and wealth, it was worn by the likes of Lord Byron and Oscar Wilde. But as the 20th century dawned, the vest became a relic of a bygone era, relegated to the dusty corners of the fashion world.

Design Disasters

• Subpage 2: Vestigant Disasters
• The oversized vest has been the site of many a design disaster. A canvas for poorly placed pockets, a challenge to even the most skilled of tailors, and a sartorial nightmare for those who dare to wear them.

But fear not, dear reader, for the oversized vest is back and better than ever. A symbol of our times, it's a garment that says, "I've given up on life, but at least I've got a big vest to show for it."

So, if you're feeling particularly despondent, take a page out of the book of the oversized vest. It may not be the answer, but it's certainly a question worth asking.

Or, you know, just wear it and pretend you're a 19th-century gentleman. We won't judge you (too harshly).
