Luxury Sleeveless Vests & Gilets for Women : Yves Salomon
Discover our selection of luxury sleeveless vests and gilets for women, crafted with the same standards of materials and craftsmanship that define the entire Yves Salomon collection. Fur gilets, shearling vests, cashmere and wool sleeveless jackets: each piece combines effortless warmth with refined elegance, to bring a signature finishing touch to any outfit.
The Yves Salomon Studio designs sleeveless vests and gilets as true wardrobe essentials — not simply layering pieces, but statement garments in their own right. Each style is crafted from carefully selected noble materials: rex-rabbit, mink and fox fur for maximum warmth and presence; shearling and lambskin for softness and natural texture; cashmere and precious wool blends for lightweight, everyday refinement. Worn over a fine knit, a tailored shirt or a winter coat, they instantly elevate any silhouette with the unmistakable character of the House.
Fur & Shearling Gilets: the Art of Layering
Rex-Rabbit, Mink and Shearling Sleeveless Vests
Our fur and shearling gilets are among the most iconic pieces of the Maison. Crafted from rex-rabbit, mink or carefully selected shearling, they offer exceptional warmth while preserving complete freedom of movement. Their sleeveless cut makes them the ideal layering piece: worn over a turtleneck for a city look, or over a padded jacket for the most demanding winters. Each gilet is constructed with the same artisanal precision applied to our full outerwear collection, ensuring an impeccable finish and a silhouette that speaks for itself.
Cashmere & Wool Sleeveless Vests: Refined Everyday Warmth
Pure Cashmere and Precious Wool Gilets
Our cashmere and wool sleeveless vests bring a softer, more understated dimension to the sleeveless silhouette. Knitted from pure cashmere, fine merino or noble fibre blends, they offer immediate comfort against the skin and hold their shape beautifully over time. Declinated in the House's signature colour palette, they pair naturally with our coats, scarves and gloves for cohesive, effortlessly refined looks — from the most casual days to the most considered occasions.
Choosing the Right Sleeveless Vest or Gilet
Select the ideal piece by keeping a few key considerations in mind:
1. Define your level of warmth needed: the fur or shearling gilet is unmatched for harsh cold, while the cashmere vest is perfectly suited to milder winters and everyday layering.
2. Choose your material based on your lifestyle: fur and shearling for maximum warmth and a strong visual presence, cashmere and wool for softness, lightness and versatility.
3. Consider how it fits your existing wardrobe: our gilets and vests are designed to harmonise with all Yves Salomon pieces : coats, knitwear, scarves and accessories, for a complete, personal look.
Our advisors are available to guide you towards the piece best suited to your style and needs.
Caring for Your Luxury Sleeveless Vests & Gilets
Preserve the beauty and longevity of your pieces with care tailored to each material. For cashmere and wool vests, hand-wash in cold water with a gentle detergent and dry flat to retain their original shape. Store in a cotton garment bag between seasons, away from light and moisture. For fur and shearling gilets, avoid any contact with water. Regular brushing in the direction of the pile is sufficient to maintain volume and natural lustre. Yves Salomon recommends its summer storage service to preserve the suppleness and beauty of fur pieces from one season to the next.
