Recs for a flattering quilted jacket?

2 replies

I'm a size ten, 38 (probably too old for one but I want one!)
Any recs for a flattering one...ie one that actually nips in a bit at the waist (not belted though)... I can go to around £100 - £125 max)
I keep seeing hideous olive ones online! I'm not sure I want one with a name emblazoned on it but I would like it to be stylish, flattering and snugly as I feel the cold a fair bit. I saw a nice one on Hobbs but someone bought the last size 10 before I could pay for it today! Grrrr! I hope they hate it or it doesn't fit, and send it back so I can buy it Grin
In the meantime, any suggestions? I quite like navy or purples, no black or olive green as those shades make me look like poo! I've been looking at joules but I'm not sure and have no idea what their sizing is like.
If you are kind enough to recommend one could you comment on the sizing of the jacket/ brand?
Thanks!

I have a joules one (in navy) I've had it forI over a year and still wear it ( practically every day!!) still looks good as new. A lot of these jackets can look cheap (even the expensive ones) but the joules ones looks its money. Especially nice as it has the bright flowery lining which adds a burst if colour a d lightens it up preventing it looking drab!
Beware though if you are a joules fan.... The lining is the classic joules flowery pattern of which I have the dress in so when I were the dress a d jacket together people find it hilarious!! (Mainly when I'm taking it off so you can see lining/dress together!
Size wise I am a 10/12 - def needed to go for 12!

I have one from Olsen which on the face of it seems a middle aged brand, but the compliments I've had from people I consider to be uber trendy have been surprising. It's soo warm and very flattering. Finally I found a quilted jacket that makes me look a size smaller! It's 2 years old now but is just a great style that will last and the big bonus is it is machine washable which surprised me.
