Thanks To This Hack, There’s No Need To Shell Out For A New Winter Coat
An Everlane jacket liner, Canada Goose jacket liner, Athleta liner vest and Jack Spade lightweight quilted vest.
A great statement coat can make or break an outfit and is an essential item for getting through the winter. That said, they usually come at with a hefty price tag, making shopping for a new one each season a bit unrealistic. I love wearing a trench or wool coat, but once those temperatures really drop, they aren’t always warm enough. That’s why I’ve been on the hunt for items that can help extend the seasonality of my coats, like a quilted jacket liner.
A jacket liner is an easy way to add another layer underneath a stylish coat. Depending on the style, it can be it worn discreetly or used to add a pop of color. It’s also an easy way to bundle up without feeling bulky or having to pull out your puffer jacket.
I’m aware that slipping a vest under a jacket is neither a new nor innovative idea, but this is the first season I’ve seen truly stylish options at some seriously cool brands. These are not your average finance bro’s puffy vest. Below, I’ve rounded up the most stylish quilted jacket liners for men and women at a range of price points. Pick one up for yourself and enjoy your lightweight jackets for just a little longer.

Uniqlo
Uniqlo Pufftech quilted jacket
You can't go wrong with Uniqlo. This lightweight liner jacket has just the right amount of padding to stay comfortable while the collar folds inward to keep it hidden under a v-neck coat. I love a secret garment, it's as stealthy as it is cute — a true layering dream. You can get it in sizes XXS–3XL in six different colors.
Everlane
Everlane The Quilted cotton liner
Available in three colors in sizes XXS–XL, this is the liner that kicked off my newfound obsession. It's made of poplin cotton with a square quilted construction that is slightly oversized, but doesn't add an inordinate amount of bulk. It's cozy and perfect for all seasons.
Athleta
Athleta Whisper Featherless vest
Available in four colors in regular, petite and tall sizes XXS–3X, this ultra-light vest doesn't skimp on comfort or warmth. It's made with recycled nylon material that is water-repellent and tear-resistant. It features a lovely quilted pattern and has a bungee at the waistline so you can adjust it accordingly. It's light and thin enough to slide under a coat without feeling bulky, while still staying nice and toasty.
Uniqlo
Uniqlo Ultra Light down vest
This vest has a bit more heft than Uniqlo's quilted liner with sleeves, which is ideal for those who run quite cold. Even with that deliciously warm fill, it has a lightweight design and a streamlined silhouette that lends itself to layering. It's made to last, with a boxy silhouette that will look great on its own or peeking out from under a coat. You can get it in six colors in sizes XXS–XXL.
Everlane
Everlane The ReNew quilted mid-length liner
For those who want a bit more coverage and want to layer under long coats, this mid-length liner is ideal. It's available in two vibrant colors that would look delightful peeking out from under dark winter coats in sizes XXS–XL. It features snap closures and two large and convenient pockets.
