Quilted coats have long been a staple for the changing weather as they offer warmth without the bulk of a heavy winter jacket. Now, shoppers can grab the Lorena Quilted Coat for £55 down from £110 on White Stuff – half of the original price – giving customers a stylish coat with a decent discount.
A quilted coat like this is designed with everyday practicalities in mind as it offers protection against light rain, while still being lightweight enough for everyday wear or to throw on over a lighter outfit that needs an extra layer. The shower-resistant fabric helps on days where there is light rain, and a concealed hood tukced into the neckline adds an extra layer of readiness for any expected weather events, like a wind building up out of nowhere.
It comes in sizes UK 6 to 24, for both regular and petite fits. Due to their bulkier nature, jackets can hang awkwardly, but drawcords at the waist allow it to be adjusted, giving a hint of a waist cinch. It has long sleeves and a funnel neck, both great for protection against the elements.
At around 110cm in length (for a size 12), it is suitable for a range of occasions from wearing on a walk to throwing it on to dash to the shops. Keeping coats clean can be tricky but this one is easy to care for and is fully machine washable so shoppers can throw it in the washing machine without worrying about damaging it.
For alternatives, customers could instead try the Khaki Double Breasted Trench Coat for £54.99 from New Look which comes in sizes UK 6 to 24. is midweight, made from a regular fit and has a detachable tie belt with belt loops. It also has a wide notched collar neckline, large side slit pockets and long, adjustable button tab cuffs. Another is the Pieces quilted lightweigt jacket in black for £38.25 from ASOS which has press-studs across the front, two side pockets and is a relaxed fit that can be worn over layers underneath.
The Lorena Quilted Coat has been rated highly on White Stuff with a high 4.5 out of 5 star rating. One person said: « Very comfortable, great length and lovely colour for Autumn. » Another wrote: « Extremely pleased with this light weight coat it has a flexible fit with a waist internal toggle. »
A third reviewer said: « A lovely coat which both looks and feels good quality. The waist can be pulled in and it has zips at the bottom, which are good for opening when driving. Warm but not too warm. An effective hood which folds away neatly too. »
Slight reservations included one person pointing out a style change they would suggest, with their review saying: « Very happy with my Lorena quilted coat. I hesitated to order it as being size 6 and 5ft. many coats drown me but the petite length in this is perfect. Comes to about 4inches below my knees. It’s very soft and comfortable to wear. I think the only thing I would change is the patch pockets on the front. Would prefer pockets in the side seam but that is only a small qubble. » Another person said: « It’s an ok coat. A bit too long and I have to bend down a lot to do the zip up. There should have been some buttons as an easier option. »
