Trans-Seasonal Dressing: How to prepare your wardrobe for autumn with Men’s Gilets
As the nights draw in and the weather begins to change, it can be difficult to know what to wear – it’s too cold for t-shirts, but still too mild for winter coats. Your trans-seasonal staple? Men’s gilets. These sleeveless jackets are the ideal thing to bring your look into the new season, and are available in a number of styles at River Island.
Men’s gilets are a great piece that can be worn all year round, especially autumn when you can layer yours over t-shirts and shirts while it’s still mild, and then layering with warmer pieces as the temperature drops.
This season, men’s gilets are central to many of the key men’s fashion trends at River Island. Get a modern heritage look in a padded gilet – look for cord textures or shoulder patch detail for a more authentic nod to the trend. Layer yours over a check shirt and chinos to recreate the heritage look that has been seen all over the runways and high street for AW11.
For sportier, urban styling a padded gilet in high shine fabrics or bright colours is your ideal choice. Pair with sporty accessories for a laid-back look that will take you through the season in style.
Also at River Island, men’s gilets are available in hooded, smart and Fair Isle styles. Whatever your look, they’ll have a gilet for you to layer over your new autumn pieces. Check out their full men’s gilets collection in-store and online at riverisland.com.
