A vest is a garment covering the upper body. The term has different meanings around the world:

Waistcoat

Undershirt
(an undergarment, normally worn under a shirt). It is known as an undershirt in the US and Canada, vest in the UK and many Commonwealth countries, and singlet in Australia/asia, and is typically in the form of a T-shirt or sleeveless top.
Other sleeveless jackets
Vest may refer to other outer garments, such as a sports tank top, or a padded sleeveless jacket popular for hunting, commonly known as a hunting vest. Another common variant is the fishing vest which carries a profusion of external pockets for carrying fishing tackle. The term jerkin is also used to refer to this sort of sleeveless outdoor coat.
A sweater vest (American and Canadian English)
This may also be called a pullover, sleeveless sweater, or tank top (which may also refer to a type of sleeveless shirt).
Banyan

What kind of vest and shirt should I wear with grey skinny jeans?
Q. I've never worn either a vest or skinny jeans so i don't want to look like a loser. Would a v-neck graphic tee be cool under the vest? or a bright shirt, like a yellow tee? or something plain? Should I wear flats with?

A. if you wear a vest with a graphic tee it wont fit together it will just look like you had nothing to wear. but if you wear lets say a plain cranberry or navy t-shirt with cranberry or navy flats with gray skinny jeans it will look plain and simple but thats the style now and you should definetley wear your hair down with that outfit.

Is it a bad idea to wear a vest in a complimentary shade to my suit or do they have to be an exact match?
Q. I've got a light brown suit that I'd love to wear with a vest. Unfotunately they don't make a vest in the exact material and shade. So I'm wondering, would it be a bad idea to wear a vest with the suit if the vest is complimentary, in the same color family but maybe a shade darker or lighter?

A. Interesting idea... Perhaps a 1/2 foam mat for camping? Cut into 2 pieces: one for the front of the body that covers the clavicles, chest, and belly. A second piece cut so that is covers the upper and lower back. Put the pieces between two shirts and sew the shirts together sandwiching the padding in place. Just an idea off the top of my head...
