Whats the difference between a Vest, Bodywarmer or Gilet? 

The word 'gilet' (pronounced jee·lay) and 'bodywarmer' (or body warmer) are generally used interchangeably these days but technically a bodywarmer is a more insulated outer layer and a gilet is a thinner sleeveless garment which can be worn as a middle layer under a coat, like a waistcoat in a suit. Vest is an 'Americanism' which is an umbrella term for bodywarmer, gilet and waistcoat. 

This season we LOVE Tommy Hilfiger's range of gilets. These stylish and cosy pieces are the perfect addition to your wardrobe because they can be worn all year round, we love them as part of an autumnal casual look! Check out more from Tommy Hilfiger right here.
