Making a case for the padded jacket: why this hero is a winter wonder
If you’re still debating your 2020/21 jacket of choice, we have the answer right here
The padded jacket is one of those multifaceted pieces of clothing that’s born of equal parts style and practicality. A more sophisticated take on the classic puffer of your youth, it’s nonetheless just as useful when it comes to tackling the great British winter. And where a thinner jacket may fail, a new-season padded version pulls through: it’s breathable without taking away any much-needed warmth, and it’s bulkier. Although functionality is at its forefront, 2020’s padded jacket is built to suit every style and every occasion, looking as good with jeans and a jumper as it does over a suit. For extra kudos, pick a bold one in red, yellow or orange.
