They’ve been popping up all over the place from boardrooms to dinner parties and all across the runways. But, only now have we truly embraced the utility of the new age gilet. While often associated with sleeveless thermal winter wear its contemporary counterpart is all about movement and cool with a hint of athleiusre. Here’s how we’re looking to try the trend this weekend.
The Brunch Dress
Outdoor brunches can get quite heated. Create your own wave of cool in a gilet worn as a dress with a single slip and minimal accessories. Ensure your gilet has secure closures in the front and is slightly above knee length for optimum results.
Statement Accessories
When you’re pairing a gilet with trousers be it printed or otherwise a pop of colour adds an injection of vibrancy to your ensemble. Pair vintage Chanel bags in canary yellow with colour tones of light grey or powder blue hat boxes with exotic prints.
Multifunction
When you invest in a classic gilet there’s multiple ways to benefit. Pair with a crisp Carolina Herrera shirt tucked into Tom Ford trousers and you’re ready to run your empire. While post work engagements can be met by simply letting go of the shirt and pairing with statement heels.
Look for cotton and silk blends to provide you with a lightweight feel.
