A gilet is typically a sleeveless outer layer designed to provide warmth without bulk, often featuring a more tailored fit. A bodywarmer, while similar in function, may refer to a more padded or insulated version, sometimes with a looser fit. The terms can be used interchangeably, but gilets often have a more stylish, fitted design.
How do you style a gilet?
Styling a gilet can be simple and effective. Pair it with a fitted turtleneck or a long-sleeve top for a streamlined look. Gilets work well with jeans or tailored trousers for casual outings or smart-casual events. For a relaxed vibe, layer it over a chunky knit jumper or sweatshirt, and finish the look with ankle boots or trainers.
Should you buy a gilet a size bigger?
When choosing a gilet, consider whether you plan to layer it over thick jumpers or lighter tops. If you want a more relaxed fit for layering, opting for a size bigger can be a good idea. However, if you prefer a sleek silhouette, sticking to your regular size is advisable.
Why would you wear a gilet?
A gilet is a versatile piece that adds warmth without restricting arm movement, making it ideal for various activities. It's perfect for transitional weather, layering over long-sleeve tops or under coats, and can be styled for both casual and smart occasions.
