Born in Versailles, at the royal court of the Sun King, before becoming the fashion fixation of the punk and grunge era in the ’80s and ’90s: today, the waistcoat discovers denim. Whether long or cropped, fitted or Oversize, in summery shades of white and pale blue, as well as year-round indigo and navy, it’s a cool alternative to more classic styles. Simply slip it over a dress or underneath a jacket.
