Short and long puffers and parkas are extremely popular cold weather toppers for good reason. They are cosy, comfy, insulating, weatherproof, crease-resistant, and easy to launder. These days, puffers can be worn with just about any outfit. They come in countless colours, a range of thicknesses and lengths, and an assortment of fabrics. Some puffers look more casual and sporty than others.
Here are puffer outfits with interesting styling details that might spark some outfit inspiration. Choose any colour palette if these aren’t to your taste.
1. Utility
A pair of olive utility pants is combined with a slouchy black sweater. Tall black stompy and weatherproof boots match the black top and are worn over the voluminous pants. The fact that the pants taper at the hems makes them easier to tuck into streamlined tall boots, giving a pantaloon effect. A roomy burgundy puffer tops the lot. Add a bag and Winter accessories that work with the outfit.
2. Extra Lengths
Light wash wide leg jeans at a floor sweeping slouchy length are paired with a fitted and tucked black and white patterned top. White sneakers that match the white of the top are the shoes of choice. A very long maxi navy puffer coat with bold orange lining tops the lot. An outfit to wear in cold dry weather to prevent soggy hems. I see a casual black crossbody bag to complete the look.
3. Light and Pretty
A pair of light wash relaxed straight cropped jeans is paired with an untucked denim shirt. A cream sweatshirt is worn over the shirt for a layered effect. A shiny pretty pink puffer tops the lot. Cream and pastel pink weatherproof hiking boots with blue laces match the outfit perfectly. The high shaft of the boots provides ample coverage in cold weather when wearing cropped bottoms. A cream bag would work well too.
4. Dressier
Last, a dressier version pairs red trousers with a semi-tucked and tailored grey sweater. Refined black boots and belt provide a polished finishing touch. A black mixed media puffer with faux fur trim tops the lot. Add handbag, jewellery, watch, and Winter accessories as desired.
