A gilet is a sleeveless, often padded or quilted jacket, worn as a mid-layer over a jumper or shirt for warmth without the bulk of sleeves. The word comes from the French for waistcoat, though most gilets today are built for outdoor warmth rather than tailoring.

What's the difference between a gilet and a body warmer?

Nothing meaningful, they're the same garment. Gilet tends to describe the smarter, more fashion-led versions, while body warmer is more often used for the practical, outdoorsy end of the same idea.

Where can I buy women's gilets in the UK?

We stock gilets from Olsen, Barbara Lebek, Doris Streich, Tribal and Claire Desjardins at Experience Boutique in Fleet, Hampshire, both in store and online.

What should I wear a gilet over?

Gilets work best over a jumper, shirt or fine knit, since the point is to add warmth to your body while leaving your arms free. A quilted gilet over a chunky jumper is the classic combination for colder days.

How do I care for a quilted gilet?

Most quilted and padded gilets in our range are machine washable on a cool, delicate cycle, though some reversible and printed styles do better hand washed to protect the pattern. Always check the care label on the specific style, since fabrics vary across brands.
