I want to know what I've been missing out on all these years! </p> <p>Joy: Good to know it won't be overkill on the "warmer" days. Maybe it will be more useful than I thought. The winter temperatures here are not as frigid as I expected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425552 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 04:09:38 +0000 Joyce B 1425552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all nice but the long one will be better. It will prevent you from freezing your derrière off. I am all for cozy and warm these days so I also prefer the long down coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425414 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:40:59 +0000 Jaime 1425414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely the longer one, for warmth and looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425399 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:27:39 +0000 Anonymous 1425399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The longer one.&nbsp; I have a similar one that is on it's 3rd or 4th year and it has been amazingly versatile.&nbsp; Somehow the down keeps me comfortable even if the temperatures are warm enough for a lighter coat.&nbsp; Is the fur-trimmed hood removable?&nbsp; Mine is and I rarely attach it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425344 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 22:54:05 +0000 Meredith 1425344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you approve Lisap. The grey one was super cute though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425343 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 22:52:47 +0000 Meredith 1425343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you approve, Angie, and I've been getting lots of mileage out of my beanie. A definite winter workhorse!</p> <p>Rachylou, I honestly don't understand why so many puffers have the fur trim. Most of it looks so fake, do what's the point?</p> <p>Louise, Unfrumped: I'm looking forward to being warm and toasty. I knew I could make do with a short coat, but you all have me convinced the long jacket is going to be great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425334 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 22:34:02 +0000 Anonymous 1425334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I take back my first response Seeing these new pictures shows the longer one in a better light - metaphorically and literally. I do like it. &nbsp;Good choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425300 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 21:40:59 +0000 unfrumped 1425300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right, good choice, go long or go home! And it's not super long, so easy to walk in. I think it will be more versatile. Looks casually off-hand worn&nbsp;open, and will be warm zipped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425290 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 21:31:18 +0000 Louise 1425290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would always go with the longer one. My thighs are feeling the cold just looking at the shorter ones and I'm guessing it's warmer here in the UK than wherever you are. I love the chevron stitching on the long one too x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425250 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 20:27:31 +0000 rachylou 1425250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, so says I, you completely made the right choice going with the longer one. At 0-15, short starts to look weird, unless you're wearing snow pants.</p> <p>In my old age here, hehe, I have stopped liking fur-trimmed hoods. I feel like a kindergartner. Hard to get away from them, tho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425211 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 19:28:43 +0000 Angie 1425211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer puffer. And you are ADORABLE in that cream beenie. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425206 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 19:20:46 +0000 jackiec 1425206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing that the longer one will be warmer - more coverage. But I liked them all on you! LOL about the skirted leggings kool-aid </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425203 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 19:15:18 +0000 Meredith 1425203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Better lighting at home shows the long coat as the clear winner (sniff, wish the grey looked better). Also, I drank the skirted legging kool-aide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425195 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 19:07:07 +0000 Suz 1425195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since i am freezing my butt off today wrapped up in a quilt (indoors) I am all in favour of the long one, irrational as that is. I do think it looks best, too, though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425190 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 18:59:53 +0000 Meredith 1425190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie. A billion percent is pretty decisive. I tried them on at home and completely agree. The long is the most flattering and will do doubt be the warmest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425144 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 18:16:25 +0000 Angie 1425144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The longer one by a billion percent. Perfect. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425115 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:51:06 +0000 Meredith 1425115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkards, thanks for weighing in on the length. It seems (from other posts) that long is quite popular. I've never had a long one before, so I've been wondering if I am missin out! Sadly, the fur is not removable. The fur in the long and short jackets looks pretty good for faux, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425105 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:42:12 +0000 kkards 1425105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well for me, in temps below 20F, i like the longer one. i only wear my shorter coats for temps around freezing or above. <br />is the faux fur removeable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425093 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:26:37 +0000 Meredith 1425093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lisa! I was leaning towards short as well. So hard to decide whether to treat this as gear or a fashion piece! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425090 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:20:05 +0000 Anonymous 1425090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the lengths of the first and last ones on you best. &nbsp;Quite like the last o ne with its added doo dads. I figure if we have to wear these puffers, they may as well be cute and fashionable and interesting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/puffer-showdown#post-1425061 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:50:31 +0000 Meredith 1425061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There aren't too many weeks of deep winter left here, but the coldest weeks are still to come and I need a warm coat. This is an inexpensive temporary fix and I am ok with that (I can upgrade next fall, for now I just want to be warm). </p> <p>1. Short, hooded, totally nondescript and would go with everything. Down filled.<br /> 2. Long, hooded. Not a huge fan of faux fur, but this isn't too bad, down filled.<br /> 3. Short, hooded (faux fur again), great color, but busy with belt and snaps, poly filled.</p> <p>This will be for weather in the 0-15F range. Going to and from the car. Don't need it for walking or long periods outside. I know we've hashed out the puffer question many times, but which would you choose? </p>
