12 Printed Quilt Jackets That’ll Up Your Autumn Style Ante

Keep cosy as a nip steals into the air with one of the stylish quilted jackets that are everywhere right now. We take our pick of the best of the best.

If you’re not quite ready to layer up with your heavy wool overcoat but you need a little something cosy to keep the autumn chill away, a quilted jacket could be just the thing. Let’s face it, we don’t live in the Arctic – for trips between our centrally-heated homes and the car, a quilted mid-layer style jacket is all you need, and the good news is that the shops are awash with plenty to choose from.

A great style option in place of a plain denim jacket or a khaki shacket, a statement print quilted jacket can complete an outfit and elevate a simple knit and jeans instantly. Another great option is a quilted gilet, which is firmly in the same family but sleeveless, so with less bulk – the perfect body warmer for a stylish #wfh uniform or when the west winds do blow as a mid-layer under that wool coat.
