Looking for Something to Keep You Warm in Winter? Make It Quilt!


We all need something or someone to keep us warm, especially now that the cold months are here. And because finding a coat offers far less drama than the latter, here is one of our favorite jacket trends this season - quilt! Now, if you've never had a quilt jacket before, we can understand why; nobody wants to look like the Michelin man this fall!



We assure you that our favorites from Shopbop are nothing but! The secret to finding the perfect quilted jacket is the fit. Stay away from puffy styles, and look for something made with down feathers, which offer light but sufficient insulation. Next, make sure it is tailored to give you a nice feminine silhouette - not the silhouette of a Christmas tree. Some are meant to be oversized; look at how it fits you all the way around your body, and see if it's the right cut and size. Don't be afraid to go a size smaller or bigger!



We love quilted jackets because they give the usual "uniform" of jeans + t-shirt some color and oomph. They are lightweight compared with your wool coats and are easier to carry around with you all day.
