Women's Lightweight Quilted Jackets

What is a women's quilted jacket?

You recognise a quilted jacket by the stitched seams that divide the fabric into small chambers. Inside sits a light filling that stores warmth without making the jacket heavy. A lightweight quilted jacket has a thinner filling, which makes it ideal for the transitional season – in autumn or on cool spring days. For deep winter, warmer coats and puffers are the better choice.

Are quilted jackets on trend right now?

Yes, the quilted jacket is a firm part of a transitional wardrobe – and it comes in several forms:

• Short quilted jacket: ends around the hip and goes with a skirt or trousers.
• Long quilted jacket and quilted coat: reach further down and keep you warmer.
• Quilted gilet: sleeveless, ideal as a layer over a knit jumper.
• With a hood or stand-up collar: adds extra protection from the wind.

As a sleeveless option a quilted gilet is practical, and with jeans and trainers you quickly get an everyday look.

How do I recognise a good women's quilted jacket?

First pay attention to the quilting seams: they should run evenly so the filling stays in place and does not shift. A water-repellent surface keeps off light rain without making the jacket feel stiff. A sturdy zip and a neatly finished hood show that the jacket is carefully made. Which features an individual jacket has, you can see in the product description.

How do I care for a quilted jacket properly?

Most quilted jackets can be washed gently on a delicate cycle. Close the zip first and do not wash too hot, so the surface and the filling are preserved. When drying, it helps to shake the jacket out now and then so the filling stays fluffy and spreads evenly. You can find the exact care instructions on the jacket's label or in the product details.
