Quilted jackets are the one crucial piece of outerwear you need this autumn. Yep, we're calling it.

Remember that khaki green Quilted Ripstop Jacket from The Frankie Shop that just about everyone owned last year? Well, it's proving to be just as popular this year – thanks to its collarless neckline, oversized silhouette and sizeable pockets. And quirky patchwork iterations and brightly coloured alternatives are following suit. 

Why so popular, you ask? Think of the trans-seasonal silhouettes that already reside in your wardrobe: blazers, denim jackets, spring jackets, trench coats, biker jackets and so on. These are all key separates with one thing in common: they're lightweight enough to wear on slightly balmier days, but they'll offer protection from the breeze on cooler ones.

We've all made the mistake of jumping arms-first into our winter coats collection as soon as autumn hits, thinking it's way colder than it actually is. You only have to catch the eye of another commuter to realise you're not the only one sweating in your duvet coat because you forgot to check the temperature before leaving the house. A quilted jacket is an interim style you'll thank yourself for investing in.

A universally flattering and casual staple, thanks to their generally relaxed fits and thigh-skimming hemlines, quilted jackets are what we have our sights set on this season. Shop our favourites below – from designer iterations at Toteme and Ulla Johnson, to ASOS and H&M's high-street heroes.
