On one hand, you want something that will last, so you don't have to keep shelling out money for something that's necessary to keep you warm. But on the other, you don't want to purchase a style that's so simple it's almost boring, especially considering how often you'll wear it. Thankfully, this season has brought us a trending outerwear option that happens to be both classic and cute. It's the good ol' quilted coat — a 'grandma coat,' if you will. I've personally come up with this nickname because, looking at quilted coats, I can't help but picture my own grandma, walking around Brooklyn with shopping bags after leaving the "beauty parlor." I vaguely remember her wearing something similar with a scarf styled around her head, which now seems very Gucci to me, but also very Queen Elizabeth, who, yes, is also a grandma.

It's sleeker than your average puffer, but a bit bolder than a pea coat. And, the good news is that there are so many choices to shop. You could go with a versatile olive green quilted coat, or find one with a floral print. Ahead, see some proof that the 'grandma coat' is ready to take over winter, then shop similar options to get on board. Try Something Neutral This way, it can go with everything, from bright colors to earth tones to your classic black and white combo.
