The vests, for example, became popular again among consumers a few years ago, after having spent many years in the shadows. They were presented as the essential autumn/winter garment, the one that we couldn’t miss, the one that would accompany us and be our ally during the cold seasons.
However, originality is also characteristic of the world of fashion. Every garment that becomes a trend again is reinvented. The vest does not escape this rule. Therefore, what we used last year as a layer against the cold, today we use it as top.
