Corneliani is answering our outerwear prayers with this gilet; its minimal silhouette is one to slip on when it's chilly but not too cold - for a brisk walk along the heath, or training the family dog to actually return the ball, perhaps. Made from a cuddly cashmere, it's woven with a classic houndstooth pattern to match your favourite shirting - and, when you're done with donning that, you can slip on an overcoat without too much extra bulk.
