I've had my eye on a gilet like the R&amp;B one...</p> <p>So, would you wear the R&amp;B one with a shirt underneath? </p> <p>I also wondered what coat to wear for the cooler months. </p> <p>I can see it would really elongate a look to wear with dark trousers but what to wear if you want to cover your arms? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-gilets---any-exampleshelp#post-1706743 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 03:04:11 +0000 Suz 1706743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with UmmLila. Styling a draped one will be totally different from styling the tailored version. For me, the tailored is a piece of cake -- you throw it on just like a jacket over whatever -- skinnies or straights, crops, flares, A-line, pencil or tube skirts, culottes, sheath dress, shift, shirtdress. It works with a sleeved on sleeveless under layer. You can go low contrast or higher contrast, frilly or soft or crisp for the under layer. Shirts, blouses, pullovers, tees, silk tees -- even a moto jacket underneath. (I tried it; it worked.) You can dress it up with a luxe dress beneath, or dress it down with distressed denim and boots. It's a classic.&nbsp;</p> <p>Drape is a mystery to me; I can't seem to wear it, let alone style it. (Not that I don't like it; I like it a lot on others. It just looks silly on me.) But I would assume you'd keep the under layers relatively simple and low key to highlight the drape feature.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-gilets---any-exampleshelp#post-1706741 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 03:02:43 +0000 crazyone 1706741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Madewell also has this sleeveless trench.&nbsp;</p> <p>For these lighter ones, I would just use it an architectural finishing piece/topper. &nbsp;The blush would go well with white, cream, red, or navy. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-gilets---any-exampleshelp#post-1706737 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 02:56:01 +0000 deb 1706737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for this question. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-gilets---any-exampleshelp#post-1706709 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 02:12:01 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1706709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the Limited one will be more difficult because of the draping. You might check out the COS website because their style is all about large and draped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-gilets---any-exampleshelp#post-1706657 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 23:47:55 +0000 Keix 1706657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In addition to the Angie-famous R&amp;B gilet, I'm seeing several options pop up at other retailers... mostly a softer fabrication and drape though. </p> <p>I am tempted by the pale pink affordable version from The Limited (which comes in petites!), but how would one style it? </p>
