Keeping out the cold with a quilted coat
The weather is not being our friend at the moment, so what better time to start thinking of fighting fire with fire and wrapping up warm and stylish for the a/w season?
Choosing coats for the winter chill can be difficult. There are some that suit different body shapes, others that suit different outfits. Before you know it, you could end up with a new coat for every outfit you own, and that means expense and less room in the wardrobe.
The quilted, equestrian inspired jacket is a popular choice for both stylish men and women this season and it's not hard to see why. It can be worn to suit casual or smart outfits, it is flattering to the female form and can be worn with everything from the a/w favourite midi skirt, to the more traditional skinny jean.
More importantly, it is a light weight jacket that will keep you warm against anything our unpredictable British weather may throw at you.
Take a look at some of the best out there, as always, give it a click and it's take you right to the shop's (virtual) doorstep.
From Paul's Boutique for Bank £65
Notice how this jacket is tailored at the waist? This makes it a winner if you're trying to show off curves while still keeping the casual look going. It's slim and stylish, with the added PB detail we all love.
Keep the rich tones of mocha, browns and nudes in your a/w wardrobe to take the edge off the chill. They are appropriate for seasonal dressing and can be a great alternative if you're not a fan of wearing black for the whole season.
Much as the above, this coat is practical, casual and a brighter alternative to blacks and navy blues all the time. Wear with some knee-high chunky heeled boots and you'll be on trend for the upcoming season.
Simple, stylish and straight to the point. We love this jacket for its warm funnel neck collar and versatility. Whether you're planning a weekend away in the city or a quiet one in the country, this coat will suit all your needs.
A little different with the two colour design, this is one of our favourites. This is a great everyday jacket that will remain stylish long after the winter weather has been and gone.
From Warehouse for John Lewis £65
As we can see from this picture, black doesn't have to be boring. Wearing your jacket with a blouse, shorts and opaque tights will lift any a/w outfit. Let this jacket be a statement piece in your a/w wardrobe.
