How to Wear a Puffer Gilet
A puffer gilet adds volume, so the layers underneath matter. Here is how to wear one.
Choose the fit
It should sit comfortably over a hoodie without pulling. See how a gilet should fit.
Keep the layers slim
Because the gilet is padded, a slim hoodie or knit underneath keeps the shape neat.
Balance the volume
Pair it with straight or tapered bottoms.
Zipped or open
Zipped for warmth. Open for a relaxed look.
Puffer or jacket
Choosing between styles
A boxy, wide baffle gilet gives a bold, streetwear shape. A slim channel quilted gilet is neater and layers better under a coat. Pick based on whether you want the gilet to be the statement or a quiet layer.
Outfit ideas
Over a hoodie and joggers for an easy everyday look. Over a fine knit and straight trousers for something smarter. Over a long sleeve tee with a cap for milder days. Match the colour of the gilet to a piece you are already wearing for a cohesive look.
Mistakes to avoid
Wearing a padded gilet over a bulky hoodie that is too thick, which makes the shoulders look boxy, and zipping it so tight it pulls across the chest. A little room is what makes it look right.
