How to style a gilet?

Gilets for women are a must-have for every wardrobe - they can be styled with a variety of clothing, effortlessly completing every outfit. Wear over a comfy sweatshirt and under a winter coat for extra warmth, or pair it with a long sleeve jumper dress and Chelsea boots for a smart-casual look.

How should a gilet fit?

A ladies’ gilet should be fairly fitted, but not uncomfortably tight. The best-fitting gilet for you should feel snug around the body, ensuring that it can sit perfectly underneath a winter coat.

What’s the difference between a gilet and a bodywarmer?

Gilets and bodywarmers have very similar functions and features. However, the key difference between the jackets is their weight. Women’s gilets are often lightweight and worn as a middle layer, whilst bodywarmers are sometimes thicker and therefore worn as the outer layer.

What are the benefits of a gilet?

Gilets are versatile and essential for in-between seasons. They offer an extra layer of warmth, without forfeiting style, making them perfect for a variety of occasions, from trips to the seafront, dog walks in the park, or just simply running errands! A women’s gilet will keep you feeling cosy and stylish all in one.
