We Pledge Allegiance to These Puffer Jackets
First developed for cold climes but finding its feet in the street fashion of the ‘90s, the puffer jacket is now woven so deeply into the fabric of modern-day style that most wardrobes are home to one in some form. Not only does a puffer jacket enhance outfit silhouettes by being unashamedly bold and bulky, but it’s also a practical, lightweight, and warm companion to see you through the winter. It's a prime example of enduring style rooted in function.
While there is light at the end of the wintry tunnel, there’s still a whole lot of chill to come this year. Whether you’re on the search for something fashion-forward from the likes of Cold Laundry or if you’re more taken by a time-tested classic like a North Face puffer jacket, it’s not too late to cop a puffer jacket to see out the rest of the cold.
