Vested Interests

Vests have come back into our lives faster than Michael Vick struck his plea deal and we think it's high time to discuss a few rules here. Let's start with the women.

Note to Fergie Ferg, I thought we agreed to leave Kids Incorporated in the 80's, no? There are so many things going awry in the above photo that Phat Tony and I have a collective headache. (Phat Tony: "Ow.") The overarching difficulty we have though, is the poor use of the vest. The rule illustrated in this example is while we'd like to restrict the use of vests to thinner women, we also feel that it's important to have a smaller chest (read: only B cups and below need apply). We like how Paris Hilton's vest below contributes to a long, lean silhouette.

For the men, several issues arise. Once again, we ask that the general public submit to dressing for their body types. Vests are only passable on thinner guys. No exceptions. Think Pete Doherty or Adam Brody, for example. We love how a v-neck sweater vest can dress down a suit.

One must always pay attention to the proportion and fit of one's shirt in order to avoid bulkiness, and of course, it is always imperative that one wears a shirt.
