Fashion fix of the week: Faux fur gilet

Posted by Team Boxwish on 07 January 2009 at 12.17PM

Brrrrr! To say it’s cold in the UK at present is one serious understatement. Our little island has been plunged into minus temperatures having us ratcheting up the central heating and dusting off our heaters in a desperate bid to stay warm. Another way to preserve every ounce of body heat is to don layers and layers of clothes, bundling up in huge coats with every accessory possible to fight off the freeze – gloves, hats, earmuffs, scarves – if it covers skin, it’s in! And so in this spirit of keeping the chill at bay, we bring you this faux fur gilet for our fashion fix of the week.

This cosy winter warmer is worn by Halle Berry’s feisty agent Jinx from Bond adventure Die Another Day, and we’ve spotted a fantastic lookalike courtesy of high street chain Peacocks. Available in black or white, it works as a sleeveless jacket to be worn as either indoor or outdoor wear and is ideal for layering. The waistband is ribbed to cinch in at the waist creating a flatteringly feminine shape, while the high collar means that your neck needn’t suffer in these cold climes.

A furry favourite in the making and all for the incredible price of only £8.61, reduced from £17.62.

Its weird. Halle wears some really good clothes in this movie like the leather jacket and then some really naff ones like that wraparound dress she takes off before jumping off the cliff. I much prefer the clothes of Eva Green in casino royale.
