Yes, we’ve a trend alert ladies. The new prediction is sleeveless jackets, let’s just hope met eireann are predicting good weather to accompany this one! Personally, I’ve always been a huge fan of the gilet and have various types from the faux fur lined gilet to casual almost sports wear gilet for all those walks that never happened. Anyway, enough about my laziness and back to cold arms. Sleeveless jackets will also help you tick another trend, layering. Laying is our friend girls, especially when you have one of those days where you seem distinctly more rotund than you were the day before!
Here’s a look at what is on offer from the high street. Starting with Karen Millen‘s lightweight washed leather gilet with quilted shoulder detailing and trimmed with the usual branded metalwork. I had a look at this jacket yesterday and it really is a great piece to add to your wardrobe and feels incredibly soft. Priced at €325 – you’ll have this in your wardrobe for years to come.
How about this vintage style gilet in denim, THE most popular trend this season. This well fitted gilet would work layered up with more denim, fitted denim shirts with a lace vest top peeping out with skinny jeans, or shorts if you are feeling brave! Check out Warehouse for this one and it’s well priced at €46.
This has to be the best of the bunch! An on trend colour, the Khaki sleeveless leather biker jacket by Gap can be found on Asos.com. The jacket features soft leather (an essential if you choose a leather style) and an off centre zip detail to the front giving it more attitude before you rev up that harley! The best bit being that it is now reduced from €161.68 to €64.42!!!
If casual is more your style then here’s one that should be right up your street. Superdry (available on Littlewoods.ie) have designed the heavy padded gilet with a detachable hood so you can layer your own hooded tops underneath. There are button details to the sides to taper the fit more so you don’t feel like a giant marshmallow!
I love layering clothes and with the sleeveless jacket its so simple, and so true great for hiding any lumps or bumps
Now this new trend is right up my street! I LOVE sleeveless jackets and especially casual ones. To me they are a form of comfort dressing…makes a change from comfort eating! I like the look of that one from the Littlewoods range,must log on and have a peep!
