Spring is here, and if there's one outerwear piece to take you through the transitioning seasons, it's a quilted jacket.
You've definitely come across the sell-out style by The Frankie Shop when scrolling Instagram. Despite dropping in 2021, it's still seriously in demand and has led to many dupes on the high-street.
The cult quilted jacket is lightweight and collarless with an oversized fit - the perfect layering piece. It also inspired countless high street lookalikes, so I've found the very best quilted jackets available to shop now.
- The ORIGINAL Frankie Shop quilted jacket: Frankie Shop Quilted Padded Ripstop Jacket, £245 / $259
- The reversible quilted jacket: Nobody's Child Black Gingham Reversible Quilted Jacket, £120 / $204
- The trending quilted jacket: M&S Thermowarmth™ Quilted Collared Jacket, £35 / $61.99
- The printed quilted jacket: Boden Chelsea Quilted Jacket, £146 / $198
- The bomber quilted jacket: Reiss 'Nina' Quilted Bomber Jacket, £198 / $330
How to style a quilted jacket
Super versatile, I wear mine over jeans, wide-leg trousers, athleisure, or even a daytime midi dress, the options are endless.

You can also pair a quilted jacet to perfection with wide-leg jeans and a casual tee.
