Are gilet's naff?

Have seen a nice one in Fat face with a fur-lined hood but will it look stupid? What can I wear it with?

Yes.

Buy a nice coat instead Smile

Who cares, they're a godsend where I live! I think some styles can look funky, the fatface one sounds good.

I love my fatface gilet and I always get compliments when I wear it. If you like it wear it.

Yes.
I speak as someone wearing one as I type.

No, I have a goose down RAB one, which I adore and wear most days. Grin

Extremely useful but maybe a bit naff. I have an ASDA one and I love it!

I have a couple of J Crew ones that I love to bits. They are light and for hopping in and out of the car they are very comfortable.

I am however between two minds regarding the furry/ Sienna Miller shaggy style. Used to have a couple but something in the back of my head has been saying step away for the last while

Also- ever since I read in a Trinny and Susannah book that they are a good shape for a pear I wear mine with pride Grin

I don't get them. Surely if you have a cold body and need a gilet, your arms are cold too?

I want one. A faux fur one at that. Naff maybe, but won't I look oh-so-snuggled?

I have a navy one and really like it.
Useful when I am shopping and in and out of shops - don't get as hot as I would in a coat. Also good on the school run.
Go for it
