GERALDINE | Light water-resistant vest, 13 colors

I found one in a color that matches my favorite blouse. That has never happened before.

Practical layers are usually offered in three colors and the assumption that you will not care. Thirteen is a different proposition. It means you can pick one that goes with what you already wear instead of accepting a black one and making do, which is the difference between a useful item and one you actually like.

The vest is light and sits close, so it layers under a coat or over a blouse without adding thickness anywhere. The outer keeps light rain off, which is the point of a layer you wear on a drizzly errand. Pleated detailing gives it something to look at rather than leaving it as a plain panel, and the front pockets are set where your hands fall.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Thirteen colors. You can match what you own rather than settle for the black one.
• Light rain is not a problem. The outer sheds a drizzle, so it works on the errands you would otherwise need a coat for.
• Slim enough to go under a coat. It adds warmth in the middle without making anything fit differently.
• Pleating rather than a plain panel. Enough detail to look considered, in S through 4XL.

How it fits

Geraldine comes in S through 4XL. With no sleeves the fit is decided by the chest and the armhole, so it is forgiving. If you are between two sizes, or you plan to wear it over a sweater rather than a blouse, take the larger one. You have thirty days to try it at home.

30 days to change your mind
