Knitted waistcoat - not OAP-like or too expensive!

[wineoclockthanks]

Any ideas where I would find one please?
Bit like this:

Back in the 90's I think! 😂 Jokes a side I've found these two Joe Browns ones on the Very website!

Oh, are they really old fashioned?

Cotton traders?

Jigsaw or White Company. Maybe too ££££

Don't do it. We're saving you from yourself.

please don't do it

Don't do it (unless you're over 80 and slim).

My mum wears these things, sometimes decorated with 'seasonal' appliqué. So we've just had Christmas wear, soon she will crack out the Valentines waistcoats. I shit you not.

It's a slippery slope OP, don't do it.

There's a reason they're so hard to find

They are not that nice Op, what about a faux fur gillet? Or a nice chunky cardy in a cream shade? I just think you'd look younger instantly without one and I don't think they are flattering. Sorry Op!

I do not understand the logic of any knitted garment with short sleeves.

I like them ( not all of them linked to above). They are not supposed to be worn without a long sleeved top underneath, that would be daft. They are great for giving a bit of warmth without the bulk of sleeves.

That IS OAP like!

It's the buttons. I like tank tops tho

likey

I'm sensing a theme here

I did think there must have been a good reason why the shops weren't full of them

Thank you everyone. Back to the fashion drawing board

Op what is it about the waist coats you like? Let us know and maybe we can find something which fits the criteria but Is a bit more on trend! Don't despair! 😉

If you're wanting to keep your body warm, then I second fake fur gilets or padded gilets. They have the same effect but a bit more fashion-conscious and up-to-date.

I have something similar to this.

Padded wise, Uniqlo always get good reviews on here.

I have a pink minky coloured oasis one and I love it!

All fashion help greatfully received!

I can't wear jumpers as I get too hot (hot flushes all the time!) so do wear cardigans a lot. But I've got some lovely long sleeved tops which I want to wear so thought sleeveless was the answer I now see the error of my ways

I was ill recently and due to surgery and medication my body shape has changed - my tummy is now size 16/18 so I'm not sure of a thicker gilet.

You can wear them open, if you do them up they can look a bit chunky, what about one of those long line jackets without sleeves, my friend wears hers with a fine knit roll neck underneath, and as it's long line they kind of make you look taller and slimmer too.

Something like this might be a bit more stylish op?

Ok been googling, what's a 'duster jacket'? And do I want one ?

Oh, I like that fuzzy thanks, where's that from?

its a pic from eBay, a topshop cardigan. I googled it because I have the exact same one and was trying to find a pic of it for you.
