The quilted sleeveless puffer gilet in big blocks
This sleeveless puffer gilet has a wide, short cut that stops at the hips. Its quilting sets it apart: large rectangular blocks, staggered in a quincunx and well puffed, run across the front and the back. The padded high collar rises high and closes with a zip that runs in one line to the chin. The shoulders drop and the wide, bound armholes let a sweatshirt or chunky knit through. No pockets, no drawcord, no hood: the line stays clean in one block. An oversized puffer gilet in a cotton blend with wadded fill, from M to XXL, in three colours.
How to wear it
Over a fine off-white sweatshirt and mid-blue straight jeans, with white and grey retro trainers, it adds volume to the torso without crowding the arms. Fastened to the chin, it shelters the neck on sharp mornings; worn open over the sweatshirt, it becomes a quilted gilet for the mid-season. Lawn green and fuchsia brighten a neutral outfit, while ecru blends in.
