Women's Quilted Coat - Belted Waist, English Collar

This quilted coat borrows its lines from a trench and its warmth from a puffer, which is a better combination than it sounds. The belt draws in the waist, the quilting adds shape without bulk, and the result looks considered rather than padded.

An English collar sits neatly at the neck, and the front closes with buttons down the placket. The outer layer holds off the weather on a damp walk, the inside is fully lined, and a light fill keeps you warm without turning the coat into a sleeping bag.

It works over a sweater and jeans on a cold errand, and over a dress when fall evenings turn sharp. Black keeps the shape crisp against dark denim, while brown warms up cream, camel, and grey.
