There are those who think that a coat without sleeves ventures into chocolate teapot territory. But Stradivarius, Zara's new, even cheaper sister company, would disagree. As do we.
After all the super annoying thing about living in a city when it's icy outside is that if you wear a coat and a jumper and get on the bus/tube/train for your daily commute, you immediately have to strip off so that you don't keel over halfway home with coat sweats. This tailored gilet is your solution - wear over a thick jumper and simply roll up your sleeves if you get too hot. No striptease necessary.
Sleeveless Coat, £59.99, Stradivarius
