Waistcoat
A waistcoat (sometimes called a vest or weskit in Canada and the US) is a sleeveless upper-body garment worn over a dress shirt and necktie (if applicable) and below a coat as a part of most men's formal wear, and as the third piece of the three-piece male business suit. Once a virtually mandatory piece of men's clothing, in the English-speaking world it is rarely seen in today's world of casual dress, although it has returned to fashion as part of businesswear in Germany.
