The puffer coat is back, and it’s cooler than ever. Thanks to new grown up styles, staying snug never looked so chic. These are the best puffers to buy now and fall back on every time there’s a cold snap.
There’s nothing better than a practical piece that’s also on-trend – so we on the fashion desk are rejoicing that the puffer is back for its fourth season at the top of the coat charts.
You probably have a plain black or navy version knocking around in your wardrobe already, but the puffer 2.0 is less Sporty Spice and more street style chic. As seen at A.W.A.K.E. Mode, Chanel, Burberry, Chloe and Christopher Kane the latest grown up styles come in a rich colours, long lengths and even offer a more structured silhouette (yes, it is possible).
The best thing about these fashion-forward designs? Though they might be seriously on-trend, they’re also timeless enough to rely for years to years to come. Perfect for pulling out everytime there’s a cold snap.
All the warmth without sacrificing any style points – we’re sold!
