A gilet is a deeply practical piece of clothing and we’ve fully accepted that. It keeps your core warm while leaving your arms free, which is exactly what you need on those days that can’t decide if they’re autumn or winter. They layer brilliantly under a bigger coat too. We’ve pulled together both the puffer gilet options, which are great for country walks and school runs, and some more tailored knit gilets that look brilliant with wide leg trousers and a shirt. There’s more versatility here than you might think.
