In praise of - string vests.

EAGLE-eyed viewers of Sky Atlantic may have noticed a strange anomoly during recent ad breaks.

A clip for cult HBO drama, Girls, shows the lead character Hannah Horvath, played by the brilliant Lena Dunham, in a sweaty, clubbing scene.

Nothing odd about that, you might think, it is a show about twentysomething hipsters living in New York. But look closer: she is wearing a neon yellow string vest. And good on her, I say. For far too long the poor old string vest has been banished to the fashion doldrums, unfairly categorised alongside snoods, leg warmers and socks worn with sandals as the domain of the naff, slobbish, stylistically challenged and Rab C Nesbitt.
