As a born and raised Midwesterner, I know what it means to be cold—and not be prepared for the imminent wind chill to pass through your body like a soul-stealing ghost (it sounds dramatic, but trust me on this one). Unless you happen to live somewhere where winter simply feels like “cold summer,” braving the great outdoors is inevitable. One of the best ways to combat the bitter cold is with a top-notch puffer jacket—and thankfully, there are tons of chic and practical styles to sport with your favorite fall dresses, a pair of cute fall boots, or any other cold-weather staples you own.
Perhaps you attribute the puffy style’s return to the undeniable popularity of Aritzia’s Super Puff and The North Face Nuptse (or even the brand’s must-have collab with Gucci). Or maybe you just need a sporty alternative to your wool winter coats and leather jackets (because athleisure is year-round). Regardless, the best puffer jackets are ones you can throw on and go without a second thought on whether or not you need to wear any more layers.
