It might have just turned November, but as it’s our job to keep on the cutting edge of all things trend-related, we wanted to tell you about the jacket that has already taken over Instagram this winter. Bravo, The Frankie Shop. You’ve only gone and created another cult cold-weather buy in the form of your Quilted Ripstock Jacket. Naturally, the style sold out at record speed, but we are happy to report that it’s finally back in two new chic colourways. And now, there’s another Frankie Shop style to choose from, too—the Teddy, which features the same statement quilting and large pockets as the Ripstop but with upgrades including contrasting plackets.
Inspired by traditional army surplus liner jackets and coming in stylish shades of black, brown and white, this outwear gem is essentially a streamlined version of your trusty winter puffer. With a collarless neckline and oversized fit, it might be lightweight, but it lends itself perfectly to layering, whether it’s over a collared shirt or a cosier cashmere roll-neck. It’s also light enough to be worn now while the temperatures hover around 15ºC—just take your styling cues from Tanice Elizabeth, and wear it with straight-leg jeans and ballet pumps.
So if you missed out on the khaki original, scroll down to see the new Ripstop iterations, the Teddy, and to shop other similar styles (including some affordable vintage doppelgängers).
