Winter Is Coming...
Yes the Game of Thrones catchphrase will always be relevant and after all, winter is among us and it’s going to be here sooner than you think. So, it’s time to start shopping for this season’s warmest and chicest puffer jacket. This style of jacket has come a long way from its utilitarian roots and now boasts a wide variety of styles but the three that we have our hearts set on this year are the cropped puffer, the hooded puffer and the elegant but functional, long puffer.
Let’s start with the cutest option, the cropped puffer. Now we say it’s the cutest purely because it’s the teeniest but don’t fret it is still going to be keeping you warm all winter. We think this cropped jacket is best paired with a pair of high waisted jeans and sleek pointed toe boots or with a chic midi skirt and combat boots. Either way, this puffer style is great for accentuating the waist and this contemporary and youthful crop style is great for fashion and function.
Our next sought after style is the hooded puffer and it’s probably the most standard and functional out of all three but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t going to make an effort to style this silhouette. The hood obviously provides extra warmth and protection from wind and snow, making it perfect for those more extreme winter days. Opt for a hooded puffer in a vibrant color to brighten up gray winter days or choose a classic neutral shade that complements any outfit. These jackets are incredibly versatile, pairing well with everything from leggings and sneakers for an athletic look to dresses and ankle boots for a more dressed up style.
Our third option, which we have described as “elegant” is the long puffer. We think this silhouette is sleek and sophisticated and complements anyones height or body type. Throw on a long puffer over your formal attire for a night out or use it to elevate your everyday casual wear. The extended length not only keeps you warm on frosty days but also adds a bit of drama and flair to your winter ensemble which we are always in favor of. Long puffers are what you get when you combine style and warmth and are great for the girls who love a fashion forward choice for a winter coat. Which of these styles are you sporting this winter?
