The Waistcoat is your new Spring style hero

The Waistcoat is your new Spring style hero

 Olivia Palermo paris fashion week waistcoat

 Last week The Telegraph bought to our attention there's a new It item spotted doing the rounds on the street style circuit, and thanks to its classic connotations, it stands to have more longevity, but is also likely to raise a few eyebrows. Read on for the case for...THE WAISTCOAT.

The trend from yesteryear now looks more contemporary than ever, with the style elite wearing them oversized, loose and boho as well as prim and fitted. So, what was once only Kate Moss-suitable- now appears the ultimate fashion IT item that looks chic on street-stylers  as well as your trendy grandma. Cinching in your waist whatever you shape as well as giving a power-dressing stamp to your look; the nostalgic piece is once again cool.

As is always this trend began on the catwalks: Max Mara, Burberry and Celine all championed the waistcoat in different guises, from the cropped and fitted to the long and belted, offering styling inspiration galore along the way.

We've already had an incredible season with our Melanie Press Collection and are proud we nurtured this trend- embracing our waistcoat girl and challenging the dubious in-store. Shop our last chance velvet and cord Waistcoat pieces as well as our super sculpting Black Cady Waistcoat. Made in Italy by Lardini - the tailoring experts who manufacture for Gucci, Celine & Burberry- these are real investment pieces lovingly designed and truly back into the fashion limelight whatever you age, whatever the season. You'll be hooked like us before you know it.

Similarly up there are the iterations from the boutique British brand Press Primrose Hill, which are made by Lardini, a traditional family tailoring firm in Italy that works for numerous big luxury names. The quality is superlative. Choose from black wool or velvet (£475 and £425, pressprimrosehill.com) or pale pink needlecord or grey houndstooth wool (£325 and £475 respectively).
