Women's Quilted Coats And Jackets: A Trend That Is Here To Stay

Posted by Lucy Caine on February 21st, 2017

When quilted jackets were introduced to the world, they didn’t instantly become a rage but when they did, they had evolved to suit a broader range of style preferences and body types. Not only did they offer an increased protection from the elements, they were also far easier to clean and maintain and that continues till today.

Quilted jackets are traditionally made with two or more layers of fabrics, stitched together with padding in between. Many of the lighter modern versions have dropped the padding to make the jackets slightly less warm and more suitable for mildly cold weather. Quilted jackets sans padding are created with a more subtle and sculptural fit. Women’s quilted coats can be either quilted all over, just the conventional way or blocked with quilted pieces brought together as one. The evergreen appeal of these coats is a result of the following:

1. They have a universally inclusive quality.
Quilted jackets are practical and robust, mostly of an undefined shape. This is what makes them suitable for all body types, age groups and dress codes.

2. It is easily possible to style them in a myriad ways.
These can be worn for a sophisticated look as well as for sporting casual, everyday style by teaming up with velvet tops, vests and sweaters as per the look that you are trying to pull off.

3. They are easy to maintain.
The naturally crease-resistant quality of quilt work is another highly appealing factor that makes quilt jackets extremely popular. Also, they conveniently repel dust and you can brush off loose dirt in a few seconds.

4. A number of finer details can transform the look of the same basic design.
The look of these jackets and coats can be revved up with little details like fasteners and drawstrings, added hoods, buckled throat latches and fur trimmed closures so that a good variety can be maintained.

5. They are easily available.
These jackets being extremely popular, are easily available. You can find a variety of women’s quilted coats online or at small stores as well as big brand outlets. Depending on your taste and budget, you can own more than one of these wardrobe must-haves before as well as during the colder months.

When choosing a quilted coat or jacket for women, you should pay attention to the stitching because things like a finer scale and flatter fill can give a very sleek look.
