I don't love wearing layers so this looks like a great option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---got-me-a-gilet#post-1404291 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 12:08:13 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1404291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Az, I don't think there is a difference. &nbsp;Someone started using the word gilet for a long knit vest so I mimicked it. &nbsp;I would normally have referred to it as a vest. &nbsp;Here is the wiki definition.</p> <p>A&nbsp;<b>gilet</b>&nbsp;is a sleeveless jacket resembling a&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waistcoat">waistcoat</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blouse">blouse</a>.<a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilet#cite_note-1">[1]</a>&nbsp;Currently, a gilet is a sleeveless jacket or&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vest">vest</a>. They may be waist- to knee-length, and are typically straight-sided rather than fitted. However, historically, they were fitted and embroidered. </p> <p>I put this in the same category as frock/dress or trousers/pants.&nbsp;</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---got-me-a-gilet#post-1404240 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 05:32:54 +0000 Aziraphale 1404240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute! I'm curious, though -- what's the difference between a sleeveless vest and a gilet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---got-me-a-gilet#post-1404231 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 04:51:59 +0000 unfrumped 1404231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks effortlessly stylish .

I love the color combo- not too matchy matchy. The bracelets are perfect. I think a necklace would throw it off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---got-me-a-gilet#post-1403683 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 22:46:20 +0000 Anonymous 1403683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these vest-ish things! &nbsp;&nbsp; I think I saw this same one at The Bay a few weeks ago and wished it was available in my size. If it had been, I would have bought it . &nbsp;Not sure what you mean about the boots and sweater being too matchy matchy ...it's hard to pick out the detail in the photos. &nbsp;I think the outfit looks great! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---got-me-a-gilet#post-1403674 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 22:33:17 +0000 Elizabeth P 1403674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---got-me-a-gilet#post-1403658 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 22:10:09 +0000 Laurinda 1403658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very stylish!
