Normally I would agree, but sometimes you want the waistcoat to call attention to itself. There used to be a fine tradition of wearing 'loud' waistcoats under a plain colored jacket.

I agree totally but that takes a great skill not to look old or stupid. I admit I haven't got that skill, yet I hope. So I take the safer path for the time being.
