The gilet is back

The gilet, or quilted vest, has made a comeback in recent years. It’s back in fashion and can be styled in many different ways for a smart look. A padded vest in a heavy and insulating fabric, such as down, can even be worn in winter if you layer it with a warm knit underneath. The gilet is designed to be worn as a layering piece. In other words, you can pull it on over a knitted sweater, a regular long-sleeved top, a shirt or a thin jacket. It was originally designed to warm your upper body while letting your arms breathe, unlike a knitted jumper or a down jacket, which warms both your upper body and your arms. This makes it the perfect extra middle layer, as it provides good freedom of movement while keeping the upper body warm. With a gilet, you’ll be dressed both practically and stylishly for the whole year. It can be worn in any season, depending on how you style it. The gilet is the perfect way to continue using your summer wardrobe into autumn, because it’s easier for you to keep warm. It’s also excellent to use in the transitional seasons, when the weather is particularly changeable.

How to style a gilet

Not sure how to style your gilet or what it goes with? Then you’ve come to the right place, because we’re ready to guide you. A gilet can be worn with many different tops, trousers and shoes. Depending on the fabric, you can style the gilet almost any way you like, and it's a great way to liven up your outfit if you need a finishing touch. For example, you can wear it with a fresh white shirt and a pair of slim-fit trousers. Whether you’re going to work, out for coffee with friends or you've been invited to a housewarming party by an acquaintance, the gilet will create a relaxed look. If it has a V-neck then there is even more room for a shirt collar with ruffles or lace to peek out a little at the top. You can also combine it with your favourite dress or skirt for a feminine look that can be used for both everyday wear and occasions that require a smarter dress code.

Finding the right gilet

Gilets come in a wealth of designs. You can get them in knitted, denim, down and quilted designs, to name just a few. When choosing the right gilet, the material is an important factor, and this is often linked to the design. You can choose a plain-coloured gilet in a muted shade for a timeless and versatile look, or go for a patterned, bright-coloured piece to liven up your outfit and create an eye-catching look. Because a gilet doesn't only give you heat and insulation: it can also add an extra layer of colour to your outfit, which you can easily swap as needed.
