For those of you loving the boho jacket trend, you’ll be quick to jump on the next best thing. Yep, the bohemian waistcoat or spring gilet is where it’s at. Perfect for lighter spring days, it will add quirkiness and a hint of those free spirit feels to any outfit. We’ve picked out our favourites…

You’ve guessed it, the Seventies inspo has hit once again. Apparently we can’t get enough of those iconic bohemian times as it influences both our interiors and our fashion. As the days grow warmer we’re ready for some easy breezy styles and the best complement to our hippie looks is the spring gilet. From quilted and patchwork to crocheted and knitted iterations, this amazing transitional piece is that extra layer of warmth and sartorial cool you never knew you needed. Until now.

It is so sought after that Damson Madder’s Tilly gilet has sold out multiple times. Unsurprisingly, your go-to for a boho waistcoat will always be Free People, the one store so completely synonymous with that fun and adventurous spirit of the ’70s. High Street favourite, Mango has also joined in with its embroidered and quilted contributions. Personally, I can’t get enough of the French label, Louise Misha. Founder and designer, Marie Pidancet has created the most beautiful collection of summer pieces all with that ethereal bohemian elegance, including, of course, her sleeveless jackets.
