Spring is officially here, and if you're looking to update your outerwear wardrobe for the transitional seasons, there's one piece that's dominated the high street in recent years - the quilted jacket.
When Frankie Shop's cult khaki style first dropped in back in 2021, we had no idea the impact it would have on the fashion world, but years later it's still in high demand.
Lightweight and collarless with a chic oversized fit - it's perfect for those slightly warmer days or to wear as layering piece. It also inspired a whole host of lookalikes, so I've searched the internet to find all of the best quilted jackets to shop now.
How to style a quilted jacket
Jessica Skye demonstrates a quilted jacket is the ultimate off-duty piece, styling hers with wide-leg jeans from Zara and hi-top Converse, adding cat-eye sunglasses and a Bottega handbag.
Anna Borisovna proves a quilted jacket can be worn with dresses too, wearing hers with a black midi, tights and chunky boots.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wears Toteme's longline quilted jacket as part of a stylish all-black ensemble, pairing it with a high neck sweater, leggings and calf-length boots.
© @holliebrothertonI went into store to try & Other Stories' Diamond-Quilted Jacket. As well as feeling super premium, it's really warm and cosy. It has an oversized fit so you can easily layer knitwear underneath. For reference I'm a UK 8-10 and wearing a size small.
