As the weather turns a bit cooler and we head towards Autumn, layering can be the key to ensuring your wardrobe is always weather-appropriate. Enter: the gilet

A gilet is a fabulously functional way of adding an extra layer of clothing to provide some additional warmth and comfort, without being too heavy.

They can also easily be removed and carried if you do become too warm as they are often made of lightweight and breathable fabrics.

Below you will find ten of the best women’s gilets on the high street. Order now and you could be wearing your new gilet this weekend.

If you’re looking for a new top to go under your gilet, then consider a classic Bretop top for a timeless stylish look, and to pull your new outfit together add a pop of brightly coloured lipstick.

This is a padded gilet which features a zip fastening, pockets and a high funnel neckline for a figure hugging and comfortable fit.

Available in plum, navy, pink (pictured) and stone, and sizes 8 to 22.

Quilted gilets are an outerwear essential, perfectly made for popping into town or going out on a walk.

This all-year-round layering piece has diamond quilting, a zip through fastening, welt pockets with exposed metal poppers and an elasticated back channel.

It gives a shape that’s as flattering as it is comfortable as there’s fitted side panels down each side too.

Available in two colours; caramel and marine navy, and sizes 6 to 22.

Perfect for when everyone goes out strolling together, this gilet is part of a family packable collection which means there’s matching styles for men and children too.

It packs away into its own bag for easy on-the-go layering, has a water resistant coating for unexpected showers and is filled with recycled wadding for added warmth.

The details don’t end there either with side entry zip pockets and an eye-catching printed lining.

Available in five colours; soft pink (pictured), red, marine navy, winter white and gold bee, and sizes 6 to 20.

This hooded gilet features a drawstring waist so you can choose the kind of fit you want, it can be looser so it can fit under your biggest winter jumpers or it can be pulled closer for a tighter fit.

Two pockets on the front give you space for your essentials, while a zip front completes the look and protects you from the elements.

Available in black, stone or pale pink and sizes 6 to 18.
