31 Best Quilted Jackets That Will Actually Save Your Closet This Summer (and Fall Too, TBH)
Because this weather is so unpredictable and those office A/C units are shady as hell!
I've got a bone to pick with this weather, ya'll. It's low-key messing with the bomb 'fits I have in mind! It's June and we've been having temps in the mid- and low 70's—How. Can. It. Be?! We've long chucked up deuces to bulky winter coats and we thought we were well on our way into a bikini-parading summer...but here we are. Thankfully, the forecast shows that we'll be in the 80s on-and-off again (LOL, I sound like a weatherwoman) but it's not enough to have us believing we can stunt in full confidence that we won't freeze later on in the day. Sure, I'm being dramatic but I say this all to say...we need some chic jackets so that we can fashionably run amok this summer...and well into the fall, obviously.
Enter: Quilted jackets. If you thought the style was restricted to winter, think again! Quilted jackets, AKA shells or liners, are the ideal transitional piece due to its sleekness, versatility, and lightweight nature. We're not just talking diamond patterns, no. The trend is looking especially fab in so many prints, patterns, and silhouettes. So you can step out in a long variation like Gigi Hadid or go oversized like Queen Rih. Here you'll find 32 best quilted jackets that are so stylish, you won't even be upset or confused as to why you still have a jacket on!

Rave Review: "Just received this and I absolutely love it! The style, the craftsmanship, the fabric print are all impeccable.

It can be dressed up or down. I plan to wear it with a perfect T and walking shorts on warmer days. Beautiful. Great price right now, too!"
