The Frankie Shop's quilted jacket is back for another year, and it's currently in stock in all sizes
The Frankie Shop quilted jacket was big news on Instagram in 2021, 2022 and now 2023. Yep, it's experiencing another renaissance. Keen to know why every influencer and editor on the continent seems to be obsessed? You've come to the right place.
We all know how it works: summer ends (sob), autumn rolls in far quicker than most of us were ready for, and we all jump into our outerwear wardrobes head first without actually checking the temperature outside. Dark nights = freeing cold days, surely. Sound familiar? One glance around the train/tube/bus on your morning commute will confirm that you are indeed not the only one sweltering as a duvet coat wraps itself prematurely around your body.
Why is it that we make this same mistake every year? Sure, ‘transitional dressing' is an overused phrase – but it's for a very good reason. And that 8:30am version of yourself who just decided that it's not quite cold enough for today's winter coat will be very grateful for you realising the art of it sooner rather than later.
Naturally, many have already realised this – which is why this autumn's hottest (not literally, don't panic) jacket is constantly needing to be re-stocked. We are, of course, talking about The Frankie Shop's quilted ripstop jacket.
Save when you shop for the Frankie Shop's quilted jacket with these Net-A-Porter discount codes at the retailer checkout.
A hit with just about every stylist and ‘it’ girl on Instagram, the Frankie Shop quilted jacket is undoubtedly THE go-to outerwear option right now for everyone with their finger on the pulse. Even more so than the brand's oversized blazers and heavyweight t-shirts. Shocking, we know.
Padded enough to provide warmth in the autumn breeze, light enough to avoid any sort of overheating on the commute (CRUCIAL), and a super chic, wearable style, this is a casual coat which is universally flattering thanks to its boxy oversized fit and thigh-skimming hemline. Inspired by traditional army surplus liner jackets, it has a collarless neckline, button fastening and sizeable flap pockets.

Of course, as is the case with most cult items, this jacket has been known to spend more time out of stock than it has in in the past – which, for those of you who don't have a desire to spend all day hitting ‘refresh’ or adding things to your wishlist, is a bit frustrating. The good news right now, though, is that it's very much available in every size on Net-A-Porter (i.e. in XS/S and M/L). Dreams do come true.
As for how to style it? Take cues from the likes of Monikh and style with flared jeans and ballet pumps (the Miu Miu ballet pumps are a perfect companion) or loafers – or make like Ashley Dainty and pair your Frankie Shop quilted jacket with chunky winter boots and an entirely black get-up. Alternatively, take a leaf out of Jessica Skye's book and pair it with one of your beloved beach bags to make use out of it for one last time.
