I think I might have found a good puffer coat :) ETA: Photos of actual jacket on me

Irene

Hehe
Went shopping today since somehow I found myself needing extra t-shirts (seriously). But Zara was there at the mall, so...

It's lined with fleece (pockets too). And I like that I don't look too small in it -still not my best coat, but oh well. I think this will be too warm for Barcelona, which is a good thing coming from cold-runner me. If I finally end up moving out in January (to northern territories) at least I'll be able to keep myself warm!

I also like that you can take off either the furry crown, or the whole cap.

What do you guys think? Cute, or just ugly? I'm a bit at a loss when it comes to puffers since I don't like the style to begin with.

I think this jacket is more of a rugged style, but I think would be quite nice for all the reasons that you mentioned - and I'm quite impressed with Zara's jackets - they are definitely good for more than one seas, which can't be said for some other fast fashion retailers!

Lyn, you are right about that. It's a bit rougher and casual than what I usually go for when it comes to outerwear (I really like a fitted coat) but I already have pretty outerwear so if such an event arises I guess I could get ready with what I own. It's just that my wool coats sometimes are not warm enough (yes, I'm not used to actual cold weather lol)

So far, I don't think I'll work in a place where I can't go in jeans or a sweet dress. And I am a casual dresser, after all!

Thanks for chiming in, btw!

PS: Also, what's with the longer and more streamlined puffer coats having highly visible golden hardware details?

I like it! Removable features make it more versatile too. If you move somewhere really cold though, you will want a longer coat.

Photos of what it looks like on me! You can't see much, but at least where it hits and how it fits. Definitely better on me without the hood, which looks overwhelming. Styled for winter, with tall boots and grey skinnies (and I'm wearing a cozy sweater underneath)

Scarlet, how cold is very cold? I have a hideous cream long (past the knee) puffer from years and years ago. But it's really terrible (what was my mom thinking?) I'll keep looking in case I find something even better (and longer), but in the meantime I'll keep this one safe in my house ready to be returned if necessary.

Really cold is -10 to -20 to me. This one covers your butt and kidneys though, so that's good. In case you expect really cold weather I would keep that white one handy. I like this on you with the hood, actually.

Irene, it looks perfect for you...great length too.

I just got this Tahari one in the mail this week. It was on sale from Macy's and fits perfectly. Packs down into a little bag and will be great for travel. For my part of the country (SD, WY, MT is where I work) we're expecting a colder than usual winter !!!!
