Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Vested

How I love to wear a vest!
It really piques my interest.
For though it's kind of like a sweater,
Somehow, stylish-wise, it's better.

Whether made of down or tweed,
For warmth, it's what all wardrobes need.
With buttons, snaps or halves that zip,
It helps its wearer look quite hip.

So my advice, to spruce your flair
And make your outfit debonair, 
Just top your shirt when you get dressed
With, as you might have guessed, a vest!

Hannah Borke August 25, 2019 at 1:56 PM Found it! What I figured out is that a vest is slenderizing. When sleeves are the same as the rest of the top, arms and chest appear as one unit, thus a person’s width appears as wide as from outer arm to outer arm. In contrast, when sleeves are a separate entity, a person’s width appears only as wide as their torso.

Robert Johnson October 28, 2018 at 3:11 PM A vest can be nice when you have to think twice. Whether weather is warm or cool. For if it's too cold, you'll feel bought and sold. Feeling maybe, you're kind of a fool. :)

Gershon Wolf October 18, 2018 at 4:58 PM Another gem! You have created such a 'fitting' tribute to a garment that is today so overlooked and underappreciated. ~ Gershon

Jan Allison October 16, 2018 at 6:21 PM I presume the meaning of a vest is different in the US as ours are undergarments and this sounds like it goes over your clothes and looks stylish!:-) hugs jan xx
