What you need to know about vests & sets.
Die richtige Westengröße finden
A vest should fit snugly enough to hug your body, but comfortably enough to allow freedom of movement. Our vests are available in standard sizes and feature an adjustable back strap, allowing you to customize the fit. Important: The vest should not wrinkle when zipped up, but it also shouldn't be too tight. If in doubt, choose the larger size and adjust it using the back strap.
Weste zur Hochzeit – der Bräutigam-Look
A wedding waistcoat is the centerpiece of the groom's outfit – it lends structure and elegance to the suit without appearing too stiff. Silk adds the perfect festive sheen, while tweed creates a rustic, vintage charm. Coordinate the color with the wedding colors and the bride's dress: silver, champagne, and beige are timeless classics, while blue and green add a modern touch. A particularly stylish look is achieved when the waistcoat , tie or bow tie , and pocket square are all in the same design.
Warum ein Westen-Set kaufen?
A coordinated set consisting of a waistcoat, tie or bow tie, and pocket square takes the guesswork out of outfit planning. All pieces are made of the same material and pattern – you know instantly that everything matches. No searching, no doubting, no risk. Especially for weddings and formal occasions, a set is the stress-free solution: unpack, put it on, done. Our tweed sets are available with either a bow tie or a necktie , while our silk wedding sets come in various designs.
Seide oder Tweed – welches Material passt?
Silk is the first choice for elegant weddings and formal occasions – its subtle sheen exudes sophistication and festivity. Tweed, on the other hand, brings a rustic character and is perfect for vintage weddings, autumn and winter events, or a stylish everyday look. Both materials have their place, and the choice depends on the occasion and your personal style. Tweed appears more casual and robust, while silk is more elegant and refined.
Weste richtig tragen
The bottom button of the waistcoat traditionally remains undone – this has been the custom for over a hundred years and ensures a better fit and greater freedom of movement. The waistcoat should be long enough so that no shirt peeks out between the waistband and the hem. Underneath, wear a well-fitting shirt – ideally in white or a subtle color. Tip: The waistcoat can be worn both under and without a jacket – without a jacket, it looks more casual and shows off the design better.
Die Innentasche – praktisch und clever
One detail that makes all the difference: Our vests feature a large inner pocket that offers space for your smartphone, wallet, or – for the groom – the wedding speech. This way, you have everything important discreetly at hand without disrupting the vest's silhouette. The front pockets provide additional storage for small items.
Welche Krawatte oder Fliege zur Weste?
The most elegant look is achieved when the waistcoat and tie or bow tie are in the same design – exactly what our sets offer. If you buy the waistcoat separately, make sure the accessories harmonize in color, but don't wear the exact same pattern from another manufacturer. For a wedding: silk waistcoat +silk tie or silk bow tie . For a tweed look: tweed waistcoat + matching tweed bow tie or a contrasting tie.
