A gilet all year round – more versatile than you think

For many people, a gilet is something they think of mainly in autumn. But it's actually one of the most versatile pieces in a wardrobe — one that works all year round.

It's exactly why we love ours. They're not a one-season accessory. They move with the weather, with how you dress and with what you need each day.

In winter — as an extra layer of warmth

When temperatures drop, a gilet becomes a great addition to winter outfits.

Worn over a warm sweater and under a coat or jacket, it adds an extra layer of insulation exactly where you need it most — warming the core without restricting movement.

Both the zip-front GAJA and the classic ULV work well as a mid-layer. They don't bulk up under outerwear, but they make a real difference on cold days.

In spring and autumn — when the weather can't make up its mind

This is probably when a gilet really shows what it can do.

Mornings are cool, afternoons warm up, and by evening you want something extra again. A gilet lets you adapt easily to changing conditions without resorting to a heavy jacket.

Throw it over a long-sleeve top, a sweatshirt or a thin sweater and take it off when it warms up.

In summer — it has its moments too

Even though we rarely think about wool in summer, that's often when we appreciate its properties most.

An evening by the sea, a walk in the woods, morning coffee on the terrace or a trip to the mountains — in all of these situations an extra layer can save your comfort.

A gilet is easy to take anywhere. It doesn't take up much space, and when the temperature suddenly drops, it's exactly what you need.

Sporty or more dressed up?

One of a gilet's biggest advantages is its versatility.

It works as part of an everyday outfit with jeans, leggings or comfortable trousers. But it looks just as good with a shirt, a dress or a skirt.

GAJA, with its zip fastening, works well as a deliberate style statement. ULV is more minimal and adapts easily to different combinations.

These are pieces that don't dictate how to wear them. You adapt them to your own style and needs.

One piece, many possibilities

More and more of us are looking for clothes that stay with us longer and work across different situations.

A gilet is exactly that kind of piece. It doesn't need to wait in the wardrobe for a specific season. It can be there in winter, spring, summer and autumn — as an extra layer, as part of an outfit, or simply as something worth having close when the weather surprises you.

And that's exactly why we love it most.

Czy grubość materiału naprawdę świadczy o tym, jak grzeje?

Grubszy materiał nie zawsze oznacza więcej ciepła. Czasem lekka warstwa wełny potrafi zapewnić większy komfort niż gruba bluza czy sweter. Od czego naprawdę zależy to, czy jest nam ciepło?
