Winters (and even late fall) can be pretty brutal so, of course, your coat has to show that it means business. That doesn’t mean your style must suffer though. Gone are the days when puffer jackets were all function and no fashion. Now, we see more gorgeous hues, proportions, and prints. There are endless designs that will make you look and feel chic and there are so many ways to style them. If you’re wondering how to style a puffer jacket though, I went ahead and made it easy for you, by finding the best street style and adding the products so you can shop the looks. Keep scrolling for 11 puffer jacket outfits that’ll make winter dressing fun and elevated.
A Subtle Surprise
I know what you’re thinking. Puffer jackets lean into a more chill and/or edgier style, so you’re more prone to go with sneakers or maybe even boots, but you can be a little more unexpected with a pair of preppy loafers.
A Winter Office Siren
An oversized puffer coat, suit jacket, collared top, pencil skirt, and ruby heels? Yeah, your workplace hasn’t seen fashion like this. If you can’t splurge on a pair of Miu Miu slingback pumps, no problem! There’s a version from Amazon The Drop and Call It Spring (linked below).
A Monochrome Feel
Dressing in winter is much simpler when everything’s in the same colorway. Get cozy with a plush jogger set and wear your Adidas kicks for an effortless aesthetic.
A Vibrant Effect
A bright puffer jacket will light up any drab winter day and baggy cargo jeans will keep you looking cool as you keep warm. Add a graphic tee for more edge.
A Cozy Appeal
Over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house we go…to steal her quilt and transform it into a cool puffer jacket you can wear with your fave denim and suede booties. By the way, there are some more nostalgic designs at La Double J.
An Illusionary Look
Trick everyone into thinking you’re wearing a trench when you’re really in a long puffer. Toughen up the ensemble with dark sunglasses and combat boots.
A Camo Uniform
Choose your fighter to survive the chilly season! I’m betting on a camo puffer jacket, a hoodie, scuba skirt, and heavy-duty leather, lace-up boots. You can accessorize with a bold-hue bag and a leather cap to show the weather you’re in charge.
A Cropped Vibe
Anything mini is always a moment. Layer up with a sweater vests and collared tops, pair with gray slacks, and bold strappy shoes.
A Barbiecore Aesthetic
At this point, you just can’t escape Barbiecore. This winter, subtly hint at the trend with a pale pink puffer jacket, a white knit set, and matching heeled Mary Janes.
A Dramatic Outfit
Go for drama with a long down coat, but take it a step further with a quilted, puffer-like top. Then add shorts and sleek boots.
An Arctic Vibe
Lean into the chill with some cream-toned attire. Bring in a little contrast with tights and top it all off with some fuzzy boots. You’ll look like you’re made for winter.
