Nothing feels warmer or lazier than having a thick blanket wrapped around your body during the coldest time of the year, which is probably why puffer or quilted clothes were invented to achieve just that. Popular in the 80s and 90s, quilted pieces have once again been introduced to not only satisfy our longing for those cozy winter feels but also to contribute a sense of style to our commonly dull winter appearances. Apart from being functional in the negative degree weather, what is undeniably striking about quilted clothes is the threaded look that adds texture and dimension to any outfit. Here are some of the coziest yet chic quilted pieces that have been popular among winter lovers!
Quilted Sweaters
They are soft, toasty and add a twist to an everyday outfit. What more could you ask for?
Shop the look: Diamond Quilt Pullover, $99, available at Club Monaco
Quilted Bottoms
An enhanced version of your typical joggers, these are great for both lounging on the couch or a quick run to the grocery store.
Shop the look: Quilted French Terry Joggers, $33.90, available at Forever 21
Quilted Vests
A sartorial take on a vest that not only is not a good layering piece but also discreetly makes you look like an edgy SWAT officer – and that’s a cool thing.
Shop the look: Water-repellent quilted gilet, $67.99, available at MANGO
Quilted Jackets
Wearing a padded jacket such as this allows you to bring your winter bed anywhere you go – in style!
