If there is an atemporal garment, that never gets out of fashion and we always must have in our wardrobe , this is the leather vest. Leather waistcoats are one of the very few pieces of clothing that not only have standed with dignity the passing of time but proudly resist the impositions of the strict fashion canons. In fact, it is a so personal accessory and so stylish that, despite going in and out of fashion gurus waves and most prestigious influencers, it never is out of place.
At Corbeto’s Boots we have two well differentiated styles of leather vests. By one side we can talk about the western vest, with that cowboy touch (or cowgirl!) and, by another, we have the genuine biker vest.
Leather western vests
Of course, if you like country music, do line-dance, are a Far West movies enthusiast or practice western riding, a cowboy style vest can be the perfect accessory for your outfit. Together with essential elements such as the hat, western boots or the belt with buckle, leather waistcoats will provide you that touch of genuineness and style that were looking for.
But, the true is that western vests have gone through the frontiers of those of us that loves that style. These last years, the cowboy style has catched on among the top designers, the most important fashion brands, the most prestigious influencers and even among the celebrities. Either with small details, accessories that perfectly match with the most daring looks, or the total look version showing a whole cowgirl attire, the western fashion has imposed more and more.
In this context of cowboy style acceptance as integrating element of the mainstream fashion, western style waistcoats have erected like a daring but elegant garment, choosen as archetype by celebrities like Sara Carbonero, Olivia Palermo or Chiara Ferragni.
It might seem incredible, but turned out to be that women’s leather vests are now trendy and will be here to remain.
Biker vests
Biker vests are another history. They have always kept that implicit sense of rebellion, strength and toughness that, one way or another, is precisely what converted them in that atemporal and everlasting. Probbably, we can’t state that have never been mainstream, but will never be out of fashion. They have so much personality and style that is impossible.
Even though we have to recognise that, maybe, there are some facts that boosted it. The TV series Sons of Anarchy was a good example. Not only reinforced even more the iconic image of rebellion and toughness of the biker jackets and vests. Also made much more appealing wearing one of them.
And, the true is that isn’t necessary owing a motorcycle to wear a biker vest. You only need to feel that adventurous spirit. When you feel the black leather on your body, you know you are expressing something.
