Is Anyone Wearing Puffer Jackets Better Than Tyler, The Creator?
It was only last month when we took a moment to appreciate Tyler, The Creator wearing a puffer jacket from The North Face and now, we're already straight back at it.
A cold weather essential that, if you're anything like me, gets thrown on for practical reasons more than stylistic ones, the musician has navigated puffer season in a way that only someone with serious sartorial prowess can do. And his latest move is to turn down-filled outerwear into a smart-casual style.
Last night's Golden Globe awards, which saw another couples fashion moment from A$AP Rocky and Rihanna as well as Donald Glover announcing he's making new music, had an afterparty at Chateau Marmont where Tyler presented how puffers can be used to dress down a formal look.
Much of his outfit was what we have come to expect from one of the best-dressed people in the world, a slightly gaudy tie, a cardigan, wide-leg suit pants, and loafers — it's all stuff we've seen him wearing countless times, right?
But put together in this monochrome look, complete with a slightly cropped puffer jacket, flappy-eared cap, and a hair pick hanging from a belt loop, it is another reminder of why we hold his fashion taste in high regard.
Having built such a clear personal style over the years, it's a combination where you get the feeling nobody else could have made it work so effortlessly. And I don't think anyone else is able to show such versatility with a puffer, either.
It's not just him pairing one with a shirt and tie or the aforementioned The North Face moment that makes me say this — he's even managed to make a puffer jacket look good with shorts.
Someone who we previously dubbed the GOAT of summer loafing might have also become the GOAT of winter puffing.
