Now that autumn is officially in full swing, there’s plenty of new outerwear on our radar – from fur coats to suede jackets. But, for three years running, there’s one particular jacket that every fashion editor and insider keep turning to – The Frankie Shop Quilted padded ripstop jacket.
A sartorial mainstay since 2021, the tonal green jacket is practically unavoidable on Instagram, selling out at record speed every year. Considering its lightly padded design, flattering oversized silhouette, it’s not difficult to see why it’s been a cult favourite since its debut. The jacket is also available in black, grey and a very on trend burgundy shade. Our only predicament? It's rather weighty £245 price tag.
Fear not, however, as we’ve found a high street hero that possesses the same trendy credentials at half the price. Nobody's Child, the brand loved by Sienna Miller and Zara McDermott has released the Olive Green Quilted Jacket, £120 which is almost identical to the Frankie Shop jacket, thanks to its similar boxy fit, on-trend olive green shade and, just like the original, is already selling out fast. Made from recycled fabric with a tonal collar and contrasting buttons, it’s also available in a black colourway for those after a more neutral layering option.

As always, the key to a seasonal staple lies in its versatility and the Nobody’s Child jacket is a great throw-over-everything piece to have in your wardrobe. Whether you’re styling it with leather trousers (we’re obsessed with M&S’ Sienna Miller-inspired trousers at the moment) and a jumper, layering under a heavier coat, or pairing it with your favourite jeans and chunky boots for errand runs, the quilted jacket makes for the perfect finishing touch.
