The Gillet
Looking around online shops and the high street, there are clearly more gilet’s available this season compared to previous years. Gilet’s did come to my attention last Autumn / Winter but I didn’t end up grabbing one, which was a good thing, as this season they have clearly grown in popularity within men’s fashion, resulting in a bigger variety too choose from.
I believe the reason Gilet’s have become more fashionable this year is probably due to the popular trends we have seen come forward this autumn and winter, trends and styles such as the worker trend, preppy trend and the british heritage trend currently featured on ASOS. The gilet works well with the rugged worker trend as it is a great item to wear over the top of a checked lumberjack style shirt, with a pair of roughed up jeans. The Ralph Lauren Gilet I have featured in this post will probably work better with the preppy trend, due to it’s simple style and just being the brand Ralph Lauren, which is often associate with the uni / preppy scene.

There has recently been alot of attention on more formal men’s fashion trends and the sophisticated look, I wanted to take a step back and look at the more rugged working class trend that All Saints seem to concentrate on. Looking through this seasons All Saints collection, they rarely break into any bright colours and add a rough and or dirty finish to some of the denim, footwear and shirts.
All Saints are still taking advantage of the popularity of the checked shirts, with a variety of styles and colour combinations in their new collection. All Saints shirts are generally thicker than other similar checked shirts on the market, adding to that ‘worker’ look and on a technical level making them more durable, they have also designed a padded quilted checked shirt which gives a real lumberjack look. When you have a checked shirt sorted the next step towards that rugged ‘worker’ look is pair of rough looking boots, All Saints is probably the best place to get a pair of these, as they have some good designs in their collection, different designs and different colours most of them with a rough/used finish.

Last Autumn and Winter the quilted Barbour jacket became a popular men’s fashion trend, moving from the British countryside to the city streets and it seems the quilted style will be back this year. Many designers have predicted the return of this trend and have added quilted style jackets, bombers and gilets to their collections, meaning their will be large variety to choose from with a large price range. I have noticed designers such as Ralph Lauren and Burberry add the quilted style jackets to their collections and at the lower end of the price range ASOS have added the quilted jacket to their line. The quilted jacket will work well with a pair of slim jeans and a pair of boat shoes or tasseled loafers.
