Although introduced as an item of men's clothing, women began wearing waistcoats over blouses in the late 19th century. In the 1960s men's pinstriped waistcoats became familiar as part of a woman's wardrobe. In the late 1980s–90s highly colorful waistcoats with bold designs became popular fashion accessories.
