Women Vests

Vests for women: Practical and stylish

Gilet is the French word for waistcoat; which is why the terms are often used interchangeably. In fashion, there are no strict rules for the use of these terms. Both refer to sleeveless outerwear that covers the upper body and fulfils a similar purpose to a jacket.

Styling a vest look for women

Vests for women are versatile and are considered a practical item of clothing, especially for outdoor wear. The following styling tips provide variety:

• With jeans and a t-shirt: You can create an everyday look by wearing the gilet over a t-shirt and pairing it with jeans. This option is ideal for short walks, for example in the city forest or park.
• With a sweaters/jumpers: Combining the waistcoat with a hoodie creates a casual outfit for everyday wear. The additional warmth makes you feel cosy, especially on cooler days - a perfect match in spring and autumn.
• In a layered look: Experiment with different layers and perfect layering by wearing the waistcoat over a shirt and under a jacket. If it gets too warm after the first few kilometres on the trail, you can take off the jacket and the waistcoat will protect you from cooling down.
• Combining colours: Match the colour of your waistcoat with your shoes or colourful shoelaces - you can swap out the latter and coordinate them with the rest of your clothes. Repeating colours in your outfit makes it look particularly stylish.
• Add accessories: Scarf, knit caps and gloves enhance winter hiking outfits. In warmer temperatures, you can personalise your look with a practical tube scarf without getting too warm.

The style of the vests and how you combine them depends on your taste, the activity and the season. To find your own style, you can experiment with different combinations.

The right gilet for every occasion

The demands that gilets for women have to fulfil depend on the adventure they are going to accompany you on. Outdoor enthusiasts will find the following women's vests in our range:
