What do we think about fur gilets?

[TheMarbleFaun]

Are they still in? Or are they a bit naff and middle aged?
For context I am middle aged (47)

They aren't for me, because they bulk up. But they look fabulous on some people.
I don't really stick to fashion though, I wear what I think looks good.

Mint velvet ones always look nice but I'm aware they get mixed reviews. I don't like the huge bulky ones.

Love them, but you need good quality.
A black one looks great over a black leather jacket.

I think anything fur or faux fur looks awful

They really suited prostitutes on tv in the 80's!

That is actually the only positive thing I can say about them.

They are totally 2007 but I don't care and really like mine!

Very mixed!
Had my hand on a few today (New Look and H&M) but both were being eyed up by some pensioners so thought better of it...
Nice burgundy one in Mint Velvet though

I'm not normally a fan, but I was looking at a lovely one in Mint Velvet the other day.

I promise not to wear it with white jeans TroyKing

Very very naff. Some people can pull off naff in an ironic kind of way though.

I love them and have got 5 I think. I wear them all regularly in winter. I'm 45.

And I don't care if some consider them naff. I like them and they suit me.

Sorry to jump on but can anyone recommend a fur coat/jacket in black or brown which isn't naff?!

Like most things, it depends how you wear them.

I like them but I'd look like Cheebacca

I have a lovely ivory, slightly longer length one from Topshop that isn’t bulky at all.

For me it's about what suits my shape - I have broad shoulders so despite being slim and tall they just bulk me up. On narrower shoulders they can look lovely, but nope they're not for me.

Absolutely love a fur gilet op! They can be bulking for big bewbs though, I like to wear them with a roll neck jumper, slim jeans and boots x

I’m pear shaped and not that large of nork so they look ok on me (I hope).

Like I said, I love them. DP is not keen on the sheer number I have and calls them roadkill ! I've got one mottled cream and taupe one with a few faceted sequin type things sewn on and he said 'That roadkill's so fresh it's got cats eyes stuck in it' !! Not the reaction I was aiming for but had to laugh

And he also jokes that they must be breeding as I have so many

I LOVE them

I really like them (I'm 34 and muhc more of a wear what I like than a wear what's fashionable type of person). However, I'm short of neck so don't think I can wear them

I've never understood them. Are you cold or aren't you? How do your arms (extremeties) maintain a superior level of heat while your core body requires this extra thick added layer?????
