Best puffer jackets: 25 Fashion Editor-approved puffers for winter
Like wearing your duvet, outdoors
The puffer jacket is basically the perfect winter coat. On cold, dreary winter mornings, why wouldn't you want to leave the house wearing the fashion equivalent of your cosy duvet? Precisely. Especially now we're approaching the absolutely-bloody-freezing temps with the prospect of actual snow...
Puffers are more casual than a camel coat, more water-resistant than a teddy coat, and *ideal* to wear with jeans. You can go as thick and pillowy as you want, with extra padding, or you could opt for the thinner and the very stylish sister of the puffer - the quilted jacket, that's all over the high street right now, with a subtle layer of insulation.
The North Face, Columbia, Berghaus, and M&S Goodmove have ace sporty options, while Everlane, Zara, and & Other Stories do stylish everyday picks. Whether you're looking for one to wear to the gym, the pub, or to work, we've got you covered (literally).
Scroll down to shop our fashion team's pick of the best puffers out there this season.
We love a classic puffer, ofc, but for when you want something a little more fashion-forward, this COS number is a real winner. It's just as warm and water-resistant, but with a more refined silhouette – and incidentally, it looks rather like the Loewe puffer celebs have been loving recently (but for LOADS less).
