Did anyone else go through a waistcoat with tshirt phase in the early noughties?

[GlindaTheGood]

Just dug out a particularly unflattering photo of myself in bootcuts, a tshirt and a tweed waistcoat.

Who told me this was fashionable?!

Wore mine with leggings, big socks and hiking boots

I had a black pleather waistcoat....they were all the rage. Often wore with a pop stud body top. Leggings and platform lace up hiking boots.

My waste coat was cream jackard with diamond coloured patterns, similar to what you find as pub upholstery. Mine may have been worn with contrasting mustard/berry/dark green turtle neck.

I think my waistcoats came before my discovery of leggings.

I had a paisley waistcoat but I think that was late eighties.

Red velvet waistcoat, often worn with a stripy top. Kind of a sexy pirate vibe.

Mid 90's pinstripe waistcoat.
I also had a lovely tan suede one.

Still wear ‘em. . I’ll get me (waist) coat.

I had a purple one! Embroidered, with random bits of mirror sewn on. I wore it over one of those reaaallly tight tops that fastened under your crotch with poppers, jeans and docs. Or leggings. My docs had rainbow laces 🌈

I did, but I think it might have been late 80s. Levi's 501s, chunky brogues, white t shirt and a waistcoat. Deadly.

Yes! With an over large white mens style shirt and jeans. Waistcoat had to be from the charity shop.

Mid to late 80s

Pictures, or it didn't happen!

Oh, yes. Mine was rust red suede which I wore with a white “body” (those things with crotch poppers) and black jeans. Actually, I think I still have it somewhere!

Yes, with a white shirt, cut off jeans, black tights and Doc Martens. Stylinnnnnnnnn

Yeah to also having leggings and slouch socks!

Swiftly followed by the mid to later noughties trend of jeans and checked shirt!

Late eighties here too...except mine had belonged to my grandad and was vintage.
I still wear one now but it’s a leather biker one

Yes!
Paisley purple
Sequined/tapestry type
Grandad style

Worn with t-shirt or vest top, short tight skirt , hiking socks and dock martins or patchwork tight jeans.

Yep. One waistcoat belonged to my dad, I don't think he ever knew that I borrowed it!

It was around 1994 for me. Embroidered waistcoat with oversized save the whales t shirt and bright patterned leggings

The waistcoat needed to smell of old men.

Swiftly followed by the mid to later noughties trend of jeans and checked shirt!

I think I went from my waistcoat and bootcuts to leggings, ankle socks over the top of brown Chelsea boots and navy pea coats.

I thought Sarah in Labyrinth was the ultimate in chic.... (more mid/late eighties though)

Late eighties for me. Ah, they were the days...

I was a bit earlier, mid 1980s. Everyone was wearing navy plumbers dungarees - £3 a pair from the Army & Navy store. We must have looked like a load of Super Marios coming up the street.
