The gilet might be the most underrated item in a man's wardrobe. It provides warmth without bulk, adds an extra layer to your look, and can be worn from early spring to deep winter. In this article, we'll show you how to wear a men's gilet all year round.

Why a gilet is so versatile

A gilet keeps your core warm while leaving your arms free. This makes it more comfortable than a thick jacket on active days, and more stylish than just a sweater. It's the ideal transitional item and a perfect extra layer in winter.

Spring and Autumn

• Gilet over a premium t-shirt for a fresh, light look.
• Over a hoodie for relaxed street style.
• Over a thin knit for smart casual.
• With jeans and clean sneakers for everyday wear.

Winter: layering

• Gilet under a larger jacket for extra warmth.
• Over a chunky knit for a tough, robust look.
• In a monochrome color scheme for a polished silhouette.
• With smart trousers for a surprisingly chic combination.

Color and material

Black, navy, olive, and brown are the most versatile colors and combine with almost anything. When choosing, pay attention to the filling and finish: a premium gilet retains its shape and insulates better. Richesse offers gilets in various colors, from clean essentials to richer seasonal shades.
