Puffers Are Making A Serious Comeback — Here’s How We’re Styling The Ultra-Plush Must-Have

If wearing a puffer to a party makes you hesitate, consider something a little more tailored to the working woman. After all, the change in weather doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style. Cut right at the waist while still providing all the warmth necessary, the cropped puffer is our happy medium. Wear it with a high-volume dress or pleated trousers and a crisp white knit for maximum impact.

It’s the ultimate dilemma: you’re halfway out the door ready for a night out and have to make a choice between comfort and style. Rather than passing on a coat for the sake of your outfit, reach for a puffer that ties your whole look together. A little metallic finish here and a hip grazing crop there — paired with a glittery mini dress and floss heels — proves you really can have it all.

Sturdy, warm, and weather-proof, the classic puffer is a reliable wardrobe staple, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Ease into an alternative with hidden details like a metallic lining or a unique quilt. Deviating from your favorite black puffer doesn’t mean you have to go to extremes — it’s all about balance.
