Temperamental weather is a daily fixture in the UK, and dressing appropriately when you’re trying to work with what you have in your wardrobe can be a tricky task.
The capsule wardrobe idea is popular for a reason, as investing in versatile pieces is the most cost-effective way to ensure your clothing collection will carry you through the seasons.
Marks and Spencer is a go-to for many shoppers looking for staple, everyday pieces without breaking the bank, and the latest discovery is the Borg Lightweight Collarless Gilet.
Part of the food and clothing giant’s new collection, the gilet comes in black or beige, and despite only launching on the website recently, it’s already racked up 123 reviews.
The lightweight zip-up piece can be worn layered over jumpers and under coats for extra warmth while the winter weather remains chilly, but it’s also ideal for the spring to wear over dresses and t-shirts.
One M&S shopper praised the gilet, saying: ”Ideal for layering. Nice warm, lightweight jacket [bought] for my mum to wear around the house, she’s pleased with the purchase.” [SIC]
Another added: ”Lovely Borg gilet. Little darker than I expected, but still lovely. Warm and cosy.”
While a third commented: ”A good extra layer in the house, only 4 stars because it’s a bit too long for me.”
