Men's Gilets & Body Warmers

A gilet is typically lighter, more versatile, and often used as a mid-layer for fashion or light warmth. It can be made from various materials like fleece or wool. A body warmer, on the other hand, is thicker, more heavily padded, and designed for practical warmth, often used as an outer layer in colder conditions.

Gilets are usually worn under jackets as they provide a snug fit and are designed to be layered. Wearing them over a jacket can be uncomfortable due to their tailored design.

A gilet should fit snugly without being too tight. It should allow for easy movement and layering over other clothing. If you plan to wear it over thick jumpers, consider sizing up slightly.

Gilets are ideal for transitional seasons like spring and autumn when a light layer of warmth is needed. They can also be worn in winter as a mid-layer under a thicker coat for added warmth.
