30 Quilted Jackets for Layering All Year Long

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

It wasn’t so long ago that Bode’s patchwork jackets—cut-up reinterpretations of Grandma’s signature vintage quilts—first entered the zeitgeist. Now, seems that fashion just can’t let go of the best quilted jackets, designed to keep you warm through the majority of the year.

Quilted jackets are top-tier because of their layering potential (and in some cases, their quirky-chic patchwork designs). In fall or spring, they can be worn solo, providing a little insulation to combat cold breezes or dewy mornings. In winter, a patchwork jacket is best used as one piece of an outerwear sandwich, helping keep you warm in style when stacked with lush knits or a weather-resistant trench coat or anorak. “In winter it’s nice to have one statement coat that can make you feel put-together but also cozy and warm,” Sea New York co-founder and creative director Monica Paolini says. “I often travel with a quilted coat, as it acts as a blanket on the plane.”

Like Bode, Sea has honed in on playful colors and prints for its quilted jackets, drawing inspiration from vintage designs. “The culture of different kinds of craft has inspired the collection the past few years,” Paolini says. “We often find beautiful quilting techniques in vintage finds that we modernize and transform into designs such as jackets.”

That said, even if your style isn’t particularly cottagecore, there are quilted army jackets, field jackets, and more quiet luxury–inspired minimalist looks to consider in your search for the perfect outfit. Shop the best quilted jackets for 24/7 layering ahead.
