The PP Her Gillet — The Natural Silk Layering Guide

PP Her Gillet — 100% natural silk, the occasion logic, how to wear, complementary naturals, colourways.

Pieter Petros August 2026 5 min read Women's Linen

The PP Her Gillet is the women's natural silk gillet — the sleeveless layering piece that sits between the PP women's linen shirt and the more formally constructed PP women's blazer in the layering hierarchy. Made from 100% natural silk, the Her Gillet provides warmth and a composed visual layer for the occasions where a full blazer would be too much but a linen shirt alone is not enough — the cooler resort evening, the air-conditioned restaurant, the outdoor concert in the early autumn.

The natural silk. The PP Her Gillet is made from 100% natural silk — the same material as the PP Monte Carlo Blazer in the men's collection. Natural silk has a specific warmth-to-weight ratio that makes it the ideal layering fabric: it adds warmth without weight, drapes naturally over the linen shirt beneath it, and produces a visual elegance that no synthetic alternative can replicate. Biodegradable by design, naturally sourced, aligned with the PP philosophy throughout.

“The PP Her Gillet provides warmth without weight, drapes naturally over the linen shirt beneath it, and produces a visual elegance that no synthetic alternative can replicate — the natural silk layer for the cooler resort evening.”

— Pieter Petros, founder

The occasion logic. The gillet is the layer for occasions where the temperature requires something additional but the formality of a blazer is not appropriate. The outdoor evening at the beach club when the temperature drops after sunset. The air-conditioned resort restaurant. The open-air concert or cultural event in the early evening. The terrace dinner that moves from the warm afternoon into the cooler night.

How to wear. The Her Gillet over a PP women's linen shirt or PP ladies linen set blouse — the natural silk hanging open or fastened over the natural linen beneath. The colour of the gillet does not need to match the shirt exactly; complementary naturals (Ivory gillet over a white linen set; Sand gillet over an oyster shirt) produce the most composed combinations.

The Her Gillet is available in the PP natural silk colourways — check pieterpetros.com for current colourway availability.
