The 10 Best Gilets

Gilets are an especially perfect companion in the transition period, whether it's for wet autumn days or the first snowy winter months. The sleeveless jackets complement every outfit and are currently very trendy. That's why we searched for the hottest gilets among retailers and picked out the ten best ones from the renowned manufacturers just for you. Have fun!

Gilets have somehow always been trendy, haven't they? We constantly see trendsetters with those uncomplicated jackets everywhere and every time. Gilets are nothing more than a jacket without sleeves. Most of the time, the designs are short and in plain colour. The first style many decades ago, on the other hand, had a different cut and was worn underneath normal jackets. It was only much later when the trend with the padded gilets came, and they are perfectly suitable for the cold days. Today, you can find gilets in every size and shape. The really crazy hypebeasts go for a gilet with many small pockets on the front, which looks just about perfect with cargo pants.

We love gilets no matter what size, shape, or colour. Whether plain, edgy, single-coloured, or multi-coloured, the sleeveless jackets always look good in every way, plus the big manufacturers like Carhartt WIP, Stüssy, Jordan Brand, etc. always offer countless designs and a very good selection. But what is the best way to combine a gilet? Gilets are real eye-catchers on the streets, and with the pieces, you can create very good outfits. On the colder days, however, we recommend a rather casual and plain-coloured long-sleeved gilet under a fluffy sherpa or down gilet with cargo pants. If you are more likely to stay indoors, you should reach for an oversized tee and a thin gilet and then leave them open. The casual look is always simple and clean. But if it's still too cold for you, you should combine the gilet with a hoodie. Make sure that the hoodie or trousers are neutral, though, so as not to distract too much from the gilet.
