Waistcoats Are Back In Style: Vintage Inspired Style for Autumn 2021

FASHION HISTORY: THE WAISTCOAT

Originating in Persia, the waistcoat was popularised the UK in the 17th century by Charles II. It was originally a long coat with sleeves, worn underneath a normal coat as an extra layer. However, as fashions became more practical over the years, the waistcoat evolved into a short sleeveless vest as it is today. It was traditionally worn by men as part of a three-piece suit, but women like Marlene Dietrich have been incorporating them into their wardrobes since the 1920s. These days, waistcoats are widely available and are often styled as part of a suit, with a matching skirt or even on their own with a pair of jeans.

THE TEAM

Rose’s Wardrobe was founded by Emma and Leanne after both having over 12 years of experience between them working in high street, vintage inspired, and fashion supplier backgrounds. The inspiration from Rose’s Wardrobe derived from Emma and Leanne’s muses - their grandmas and great grandma - Patricia, Edna, and Rose. The aim is to produce replicas of the beautiful clothes their grandmas wore, using colours, styles and prints from the 1940’s through to the 1960’s.
