Styling Tip
The Shirt Jacket Spectrum
Combine the warmth of down insulation with the easy wearability of your favorite shirt, and you've got the quilted shirt jacket. They definitely evoke an equestrian vibe, but you don't have to know how to break in a horse to wear one well. The lightweight layer is ideal for temperatures that aren't quite freezing but definitely require something more than a down vest. Herewith, some of the season's best, in a range of price points.
