It's spring - aka gilet season. We explore ways to style the almighty body warmer, from the upmarket ski vibe of Moncler to bright, sleeveless blazers.
Spring is around the corner here in the UK and you know what that means: vest (or gilet) season is here. Perfect for those who can't bring themselves to leave the comfort and safety of outerwear, the gilet is the perfect transition garment to take you from March into April. How to wear it?
With skinny jeans, leggings or trousers
Gilets tend to be slightly oversized to allow for the clothing underneath, which could be as heavy as a blazer or another thick sweater (more on that below). To balance out proportions, pair with a more fitted bottom - leggings, slim fit trousers or skinny jeans will do the trick.

With a dress and boots
Depending on the dress and the gilet, this can be a really interesting combo. A faux fur gilet will really glam up an entire outfit, even if it's just a day dress. Try the dress with trainers for day and heeled boots in the evening.
As a blazer without sleeves
Take office wear up a notch with bare arms under a sophisticated blazer-like gilet. Check out this Stella McCartney one from The Luxury Closet on Eskadi.
