'I feel swaddled, protected': review of Prada's £700 white waistcoat
Want to pay £700 for a vest? A vest ? Even on Prada's terms, the Italian fashion label for the ridiculously loaded is surely taking the sartorial piss here. except for a hundred times the price, was one of the most sought-after items of the year. It's the third 'trending' item on Lyst's fall list, which monitors what people buy, Google and tag on social media, and British Vogue called it the item that has defined 2022. It's sold out everywhere.
I've always loved a vest, but like Stanley Kowalski of Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire, I don't tend to wear it in underwear. The undershirt is my shirt. Unlike Brando's Kowalski, I don't wear vests because I'm a hot, ripped, testosterone-filled Adonis. No, I wear vests because I don't like clothes.
Clothes oppress me. I just find them uncomfortable. Jeans chafe (big thighs), shirts are too tight, sweaters wave in the wrong places. Clothes make me too conscious of my body and make me feel uncomfortable. As soon as I get home, I go back to basics: pants and a sleeveless vest, sometimes enhanced by a dressing gown.
