Gilet capsule - YouLookFab Forum

Inspired by Angie's recent post, I'm just putting some potential finds together from actual pieces I own to pair with a gilet. Anything questionable/iffy? Anything else I should try?

(Editing/adding as I go.)

Ooh how fun! All of the blouses and bottoms look fab. I think the green floral dress will work, too. I’m curious about the black dress with the flared skirt - I wonder if the silhouettes will work together? And I wonder if the waist detail on the blue dress will fight with the gilet. Of course if you’ve already paired these, you already know. Hard to tell from pictures!

Have you thought about pairing it with sweaters? Maybe your Universal Standard green sweater?

I haven't paired the gilet with any of these dresses yet, and have the same concerns. I seriously didn't think of gilet + dress at ALL prior to the Friday post !

Yes! Thank you, the green Meridian pullover is a smart idea!

You inspired me to see what I can come up with from my closet. Plus my cats won’t let me up right now, they’re so happy I’m home! I’m not including my tried and true combos from the previous two falls... let me know if you see any misses....

I wear that green sweater as a cowl neck, not as shown.

Lovely! I particularly like the idea of the cowl neck sweater and the shirt dress.

I also have this shorter open vest from a few years ago.

Bellatrix Drape Front Crepe Vest (Regular & Petite)

I just bought that blue shirt dress and haven't worn it yet - maybe next week! Love the shorter vest - it's got a great drape. My only short vests are super casual Columbia cotton or puffers. I like the idea of one like yours as a finishing piece since I can run warm....

I don't know from gilets (does that rhyme with belay or with skillet?), but I had to tell you I lurve your polka dot and paisley tops!

Love!! You have a great wardrobe. I loved seeing it.

All looks very Kari to me. Nice additions from Nadya too.

That's how I use the short vest, Nadya-as a light finishing piece to add a little more interest or a little more structure. I'm so excited to see you try the shirtdress!

I like the idea of a casual vest or puffer, but every time I've tried to wear one (my whole life) it becomes an orphan.

Thanks, Laura! Both tops have been workhorses the past couple years.

Thanks, Sterling and Angie! Yeah, the bottoms/toppers are pretty classic me, just with the addition of a longer sleeveless third piece. The dresses pose more of a challenge. I'm looking forward to playing with it.
