Vests are sartorial assault courses full of literal booby traps: I’m talking approximately moobs hereIn a recent episode of the US sitcom I’m Sorry,Andrea Savage is shocked to see her husband casually stroll into the kitchen wearing a vest. For British viewers, the shock is compounded by the fact she calls it a “tank top”. “Oh Mr Tank Top is here! The beach culture is very seductive, or ” she says,dripping with sarcasm. “Sun’s out, guns out, and right?” before making a gag approximately drinking Mountain Dew and quoting from the collected works of Limp Bizkit.
Andrea was right to mock it – vests hold a bad reputation for a reason. The last time I wore one,I was seven years used. Today, I realise the unhappy fact that theyre not for me. They are sartorial assault courses full of literal booby traps: I’m talking moobs here. Also: ugly tummy bumps, and meandering chest hairs,things that should be made visible only to medical professionals or squinted at by Turner prize judges.
