French artificial intelligence startup Mistral AI is in discussions with European banks about deploying its answer to Anthropic PBC's Mythos, the limited-access AI model that can uncover cybersecurity vulnerabilities at unprecedented speed and scale.

The tailored sensibility of this waistcoat is beautifully softened by the flared skirt, single-button coat, scarf and beanie. Photo: Polo Ralph Lauren Usually worn with a suit to add polish and structure to a formal or business look, the waistcoat is an essential wardrobe piece.

It can be worn as part of a three-piece suit, on its own for a relaxed tailored look, or over a blouse or T-shirt for an easy, casual vibe. Still, it is often overlooked because of its perceived formality, but here are some ideas from various brands to consider or take inspiration from. A waistcoat that is timeless, in beige with light brown stripes and slit pockets for a practical touch.

Photo: Instagram/Max MaraCut cropped and in a pattern reminiscent of retro tapestry, Dior’s Spring/Summer 2026 waistcoat for men is a nostalgic nod with a modern twist. Worn with a blue shirt and jeans, the ensemble gets a playful lift with a bold white bow for added flair.

The waistcoat at Polo Ralph Lauren means business in navy and grey pinstripe fabric, but its seriousness is softened as it is paired with a checked, flared skirt, a single-button navy coat, a printed neck scarf and a knitted beanie. Grounding the look are black boots and a belt with a silver buckle. It’s country chic meets boardroom rebel.

Drawing on prints, colours and ideas from African culture, reimagined with lightness and fluidity, Emporio Armani’s waistcoat features a curved hemline and a stone-and-leather tassel hanging from one of its buttons. The waistcoat, part of the brand’s Spring/Summer 2026 line, comes with a matching jacket and relaxed trousers with a motif reminiscent of indigenous African prints. With a colour that pops and a texture that commands attention, Issey Miyake’s Homme Plisse waistcoat from its Spring/Summer 2026 collection is simply striking.

It is worn with a tee in the same shade, only more vibrant, and dark brown three-quarter pleated trousers. Skinny scarves in white and yellow are draped nonchalantly around the neck for a carefree finish. Trust Italian label Max Mara to come up with a waistcoat that is elegantly understated, in beige with light brown stripes and slit pockets at the waist for a functional detail.

The classic piece also comes with trousers in the same fabric, colour and stripe, lending the look a streamlined appeal. The black number, with a shawl collar and integrated cinch, accentuates thefigure with a sleek, elegant and refined frame. Paired with black trousers on the model, it is versatile enough to be worn with everything from pencil skirts and wide-leg trousers to tailored shorts. This is a waistcoat that simply works.

Jannik Sinner sets Masters 1000 record, eyes French Open titleJannik Sinner sets Masters 1000 record, eyes French Open titleItalian world number one Jannik Sinner continued his ominous form ahead of the French Open by setting a record with his 32nd consecutive Masters 1000 victory, brushing aside Russia's Andrey Rublev 6-2 6-4 to reach the Italian Open semi-finals on Thursday. Sinner has now moved clear of Novak Djokovic's record and set his sights on further milestones. Djokovic remains the only man to have won all nine Masters 1000 events - a feat Sinner, 24, could match if he goes on to lift the title on home soil in Rome. Sinner awaits former world number one Daniil Medvedev or Spanish youngster Martin Landaluce, who play later on Thursday. With Rome the only title missing from his collection, Sinner is aiming to go one better than last year, when he was beaten in the final by Carlos Alcaraz. The 23-year-old Spaniard, a seven-times Grand Slam winner, is nursing a wrist injury and is out of the French Open, potentially clearing Sinner's path to a first Roland Garros title - the only Grand Slam missing from his illustrious trophy cabinet. In this form, Sinner looks virtually unstoppable and will be eyeing a fifth Grand Slam crown when the French Open main draw gets underway on May 24. Follow us on our official
