Seasalt's 'cosy and classy' borg gilet is a winter essential according to fashion editor

Seasalt's new autumn collection is bursting with cosy textures. But it's the brand's borg button gilet that has shoppers raving and fashion editor Lauren says's it's a must-have for the season

Seasalt has just dropped their new autumn collection, and it's all about snuggly textures this season. One piece that's got the fashion pack buzzing is the Borg Button Gilet, a faux fur number that is perfect for layering and keeping the chill at bay. This gilet, in a creamy ecru shade and matching buttons, is not only super soft to the touch but also versatile enough to pair with a variety of outfits. It's also made from super soft recycled polyester for those who like to shop with sustainability in mind.

On Seasalts website, the outerwear is described as: "A warming winter gilet you'll find so many ways to wear" and being" Designed for trans-seasonal layering," and it's fair to say this piece ticks all the boxes. It comes with a price tag of £75.95 but think of it as a worthy investment piece that will be your go-to layering item and it also comes in cheaper than the Boden design we spotted recently which is £110 here. I guarantee you won't want to take it off this autumn/winter and If the reviews are anything to go buy predict a sell-out soon.

Shoppers have been quick to spot the trending piece, leaving a flurry of positive reviews, " I have been searching for a gilet that wasn't too bulky or fitted for a long while and I found it. This one is perfect, not too long or short, not too baggy, gorgeous fabric and of course we'll made, " said one happy buyer.

Another swooned, "Every time I wear this gilet I get compliments. It’s warm, comfortable and looks bang up to the minute. I love it!"

However, one shopper was less than pleased with the buttons, penning, "Functional...but boring buttons. A little more thought with unusual buttons...not cream plastic...would have improved this garment."

With cosy borg textures being a big trend this autumn you can find countless alternatives on the high street this season. We recommend White Stuff's gilet for £69 here which comes in three must-have shades and Lipsy's Borg And Faux Leather Trim Gilet, £75 here.
