Granny Trend Continues with Patchwork Quilted Jackets

Since crochet granny squares are on the way out, I'm expecting to see more granny patchwork quilted items gaining popularity for Fall/Winter 2023-24. Summer is not yet here, so quilted jackets are the last thing on our minds, but I see retailers injecting this idea here and there, testing the waters it seems, letting it be familiar in our minds, so that when the next cold weather comes around, we'll be ready to grab some patchwork outerwear. 

The concern is, how to wear this style without looking like a granny? I found these styles to be pleasing: 

1. Make it crop length or have a motorcycle jacket cut: 


2. Have it cinched in at the waist:

3. Patch it with neutral fabric like khaki, military green, or denim:

Are you thinking of getting something quilted for next cold weather?
