TRENDS EXPLAINED - THE WAISTCOAT

Timeless, Feminine, and Effortlessly Bold

Mavis gilet grey stripe suit set

At Honnête Atelier, we believe in fashion that empowers, pieces that speak volumes through their design. This season, one standout item is redefining modern femininity: the waistcoat.
Once a staple in men’s tailoring, the waistcoat is now taking center stage in women’s wardrobes, offering a blend of strength, elegance, and bold simplicity. And trust us, this is not just a passing trend.

Why the waistcoat belongs in your wardrobe

You tie your waistcoat as if you were pulling the day towards you. Sometimes tight and closed, as a top, for those days when you want to appear sharp and powerful. Sometimes loosely over a blouse or T-shirt, as you move between appointments and evening light. With a simple change of shoes or jewelry, you can effortlessly go from work to weekend, from casual to chic. One garment, endlessly yours. Timeless, versatile, and always with character.

Style It Your Way

On Monday, wear your waistcoat sleek and streamlined, with linen pants, sandals, and a touch of gold—minimal chic for a fresh start.On Wednesday, slide it over a white blouse and baggy pants. You walk into the meeting room with quiet strength—polished, but never stiff. Saturday? Throw it open over a T-shirt and denim shorts, sneakers on, sunglasses on. Carefree, stylish, all weekend.And when night falls, tie it up as a top, pair it with a high waist and heels. Your look? Confident. Your attitude? Even more so. Sometimes, on a lazy Sunday, wear your waistcoat over a flowy dress, boots on, jewelry that jingles like memories. Boho, dreamy, free. The beauty? You decide. One piece, endless you.
