Vests, Waistcoats, Gilets...

With the recent morning chill in the air I have been thinking about cosy pieces that I will be turning to come Winter. A Gilet can be a great piece to layer over a t-shirt/top, or a denim jacket, and it adds the style factor. You can throw it over a lot of outfits to cover up areas that you're not happy with, or to just add a difference in length to your look. I would advise that if you are on the shorter side opt for the short Gilets, while taller people can go for both short and long styles.

This winter it is a wardrobe essential, and in the shops right now we have a choice of knitted or tailored Gilets as well as the faux fur options. (I have my eye on the French Connection Faux Fur Gilet.) The longer-line knitted ones I would style with trousers, whereas the shorter ones can be worn with skirts or dresses; see my looks below. I have also created a Pinterest board of different outfits styled with them, which I hope gives you some inspiration.
