When the temperatures drop, all I want to do is be curled up under a blanket. Luckily the fashion trend gods have given us a solution: Enter the quilted jacket.
Second to staying home, this coat has become the fashion set’s hack for surviving chilly weather.

While a quilt more often than not reminds me of my grandparents’ home, a quilted coat doesn’t have to feel dated and musty. In fact, today’s styles—from brands like Tanner Fletcher, Sacai, and The Series—embody the timeless charm the staple is known for, while still bringing it into present-day. Unlike its sartorial cousin, the puffer jacket, a quilted design adds more of a retro feel to an outfit and serves as a transitional staple that can stretch through early fall through winter and spring with the right combination of layers.
