3 piece suit is perhaps the most recognisable sign of class. Where did it originate from? When is it appropriate to wear a 3 piece suit? How to wear it? We would like to share a few tips & history.

A 3 piece suit consists of three parts: a jacket, trousers, and a waistcoat (known as a vest in North America). While some may suggest that all three components should be made with the matching fabric, you can also wear a contrasting waistcoat or jacket to differentiate the look.

Just like with the two piece suit, depending on the colour and the fabric, it can have a more formal or informal look. Lighter colours, checked patterns, heavier fabrics turn the garment into more of a lounge suit (casual wear). Darker, solid colours add formality.

The word “waistcoat” comes from the cutting of the coat at waist-level. As tailors were cutting men’s formal coats below the waist line. An alternative theory is that, as material was left over from the tailoring of a two-piece suit, it was made into a “waste-coat” to avoid the extra material being wasted.

Some say it came into fashion in the 17th century England. The purpose of the waistcoat was to reinvent men’s style.
3 piece suits saw a boom during the Industrial revolution in England, where businessmen sought a look that would clearly signal status and wealth. Nowadays, men choose to go three piece mainly to look classy and sometimes vintage.
