Gilets That Layer Without Bulk
The gilet has a credibility problem that mostly comes down to how badly it is so often executed. Too padded and it adds width without warmth. Too casual and it kills anything tailored near it. Too shiny and it looks like you borrowed it from someone's hiking trip. When it is done right though, it is one of the most useful layering pieces a wardrobe can have, particularly in the months where a full coat feels like too much but a knit alone is not quite enough. We have been looking specifically at options with controlled fill, clean lines, and a cut that sits properly over a shirt or midlayer without rounding out the shoulders or bunching at the sides. Baffle construction matters here. So does the quality of the outer fabric. The ones we have chosen work dressed up and dressed down without looking confused about which direction they are going. Functional without being sportswear. That line is harder to walk than it sounds.
