No what? No vest? No button shift?

I recently purchased this black velvet waistcoat
A6503759-73A8-487A-9B94-44E6E85D88EE.jpg to wear with a black velvet Argyle for more formal occasions. I am changing the plain black buttons to these to match the ones on the jacket.E0236F57-AC1D-41BC-826D-DBB26AD2D184.jpg My personal preference, only because I have the extra buttons, would be to match but I don’t think I’d lose any sleep if they didn’t!

Somewhat unhelpfully, it depends on the jacket and the buttons on that.Subdued black buttons on both garments can be very effective though, as would a set of silver buttons on both garments. How about two sets of buttons? Then you can change them to fit your mood and or, the event?

FB, I think you need to provide us with a pic, perhaps as you are suggesting it might be worn by you.

Hi Jock. I considered the two-button solution, and while it would be good, it would also require a second set of button holes to switch them front to back. That's a lot of work for a very occasional change. Thanks for reminding me of that solution, old friend.

Okay, here are a couple of pictures. I didn't bother putting the whole rig on and changing my clothes twice; just laid them on the bed with a shirt in behind.
Here it is with an Argyle jacket which of course is designed to be buttoned so it only has a button on one side, although heaven only knows why you would ever button it up:
And here with a Sheriffmuir which is never buttoned but has a row of decorative silver buttons on either side:
What comes to mind, chaps? I appreciate your thoughts.
