Oversized padded jackets have revolutionized our approach to winter layering, and we’re completely obsessed with how they allow us to stay warm while creating these effortlessly cool, relaxed silhouettes that feel very current and street-style inspired. There’s something so satisfying about the contrast between the voluminous jacket and whatever fitted pieces you’re wearing underneath—it creates this perfect balance of proportions that feels both comfortable and incredibly fashion-forward. We’ve been living in them during the coldest months because they provide enough room to layer properly without feeling restrictive or making us look like we’re drowning in fabric. The oversized fit means you can actually wear sweaters, hoodies, or multiple layers underneath without the jacket becoming uncomfortably tight or losing its shape entirely. We love how they work with fitted bottoms—skinny jeans, leggings, or tailored trousers all create this beautiful contrast that keeps the overall look balanced and intentional rather than sloppy. They’re perfect for those days when temperatures are truly brutal and you need serious insulation, but you still want to look like you understand fashion and made deliberate styling choices. The beauty is in the styling: we’ve been pairing them with sleek accessories like structured bags and streamlined scarves that complement the jacket’s relaxed vibe without adding unnecessary bulk. They photograph incredibly well too, especially when you’re going for that effortless, off-duty model aesthetic that looks casual but completely intentional.
