You Say Vest, I Say Gilet

 Garments have different names in the UK and the US.  Is This Mutton explores the differences starting with gilet which is called a vest in the US.  She wears a lollipop pink faux fur gilet from Kettlewell.

Dear friends.  It's amusing how we have different names for garments here in the UK and in the US.  What I'm wearing above is a gilet in the UK, but a vest in the US  (and in the Middle East, a vest is a long over garment for men).
