Men wearing vests (or not)

[Bede735]

I was chatting to this woman at work last week who said she didn't think men should wear sleeveless tops.

'All men?' I queried.
'Not all. My son looks okay in one.'
'So you can only wear them if you're of a certain age?' I continued.
'Not necessarily, but you have to be fit-looking. I wouldn't let my husband wear one,' she said.

So it seems that sleeveless tops for men are as disapproved of as Speedos.
I have to admit, I was guilty of wearing one at a beach resort in Vietnam recently, but that was only because of no air-conditioning, the temperature in the nineties and humidity of more than 70%.
