5 Ways To Style A Women’s Gilet This Winter

From luxe shearling to relaxed lumberjack styles and this season’s favourite chocolate brown, the women’s gilet is a must for any winter wardrobe.

Look 3 – Shearling & Boho Denim
If you’re a fan of relaxed bohemian style, Brit Instagram star, Keely Busby, is a must-follow. Take style notes from her laid-back look by mixing light-wash, extra baggy jeans, with cosy knits and French Connection’s luxe shearling gilet – a fraction of the price it looks.

Look 4 – Head To Toe Tonal
Practical it may not be but layers of creamy white in winter will forever look chic. If you’re looking to invest in a gilet that will stand the test of time, Isabel Marant’s Gwendalia vest is just the ticket – check the high street for multiple (cheaper) iterations – layered over a buttermilk yellow knit. Love.
