I will definitely be doing a post on winter-weight puffers sooner than later, but today we’re going to look at ones that work for the kind of weather we’re having right now. What I like about a lightweight quilted jacket is that it’s good for really transitional days, when the temperature varies depending what time it is.  This reversible one from Veronica Beard is, I think, polished enough to wear on an evening out, but great with jeans on the weekend too.

Here’s a more casual option from Allsaints, with a waist cinch to keep things looking sufficiently polished.

I am crazy for this traditional quilt-inspired number: the sophisticated cut keeps it from looking frumpy.

The drop shoulder here is a cool touch, and I dig the (kind of lightly) burnt orange hue.

I zoomed in on this bomber to see if it’s made of denim, and as far as I can tell it’s not, but I do like that it looks like it is.

This comes from J. Crew and is available in a few other hues, but this off-white looks freshest to me right now.

A super clean-lined recycled polyester jacket from Cos that—like so many items at Cos—looks pricier than it is.

The length here, as well as the front patch pockets, make this an elegant option.

I like the pop of orange, as well as the half-quilted, half-fleece aspect of this pullover from Veronica Beard.

And the corduroy details on this fleece jacket are just aces.

A floral coat with an appealingly chic silhouette; also, here is a short version of it.

A nifty Barbour jacket that I might size up on for ease of layering.

The topsy-turvy quilted pattern here is kind of fun.

And I like the double breasted-ness and bandana lining on this Xirena jacket. Here it is in a khaki colorway.

Just a cute shirt jacket that doesn’t cost a fortune, from Topshop.

This liner jacket has a fleece interior, making it super-cozy.

This one also comes in an off-white, but I kind of love this watermelon-y color.

A quilted version of J. Crew’s ever-popular Field Jacket: perfection.

And finally: this fleece-lined cape doesn’t totally fit with this category, but I’m such a fan I included it anyway.
