Description
“Vest” comes from the romance languages, where the French “veste” means “jacket or sport coat” and the Italian “vesta” means “robe or gown”.
The Online Etymology Dictionary attributes the popularization of the men’s vest to Charles II, who attempted to formalize men’s attire in court which had gone off the rails.
"The King hath yesterday, in Council, declared his resolution of setting a fashion for clothes …. It will be a vest, I know not well how; but it is to teach the nobility thrift."
