Puffer Up: Shop the Season's Coziest (and Chicest) Outerwear

You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you wrote off puffers as unflattering and uncool.
Best Puffer Jackets | Winter 2012

You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you wrote off puffers as unflattering and uncool. With a sleek makeover, touches of (faux) fur, and some candy-colored hues, these toppers are anything but. As evidenced by Olivia Palermo, who showed off her own iteration, the style crowd has fully embraced the puffers that once put you entirely in Michelin Man territory. Well, not anymore — puffers don't necessarily mean puffy; while some are certainly a bit bulkier than others, these coats and jackets are designed to fit closely to the body, providing the warmth you want with a much more flattering fit. They also make use of belts and drawstrings to cinch the waist, so you never have to fear the illusion of added inches — and they come in just about every length, color, and with luxe details like gold hardware and fur trim. Click on to see and shop your favorite version just in time for the real Winter chill.

Puffer coats are nothing new, but fashionable puffers have become a hot outerwear trend, especially in cold-weather destinations like New York City. This J.Jill Cocooning Puffer Coat ($160, originally $180) is totally sleek despite its voluminous shape. I especially dig the dramatic collar and suave hue. But, I stumbled upon another puffer that's a bit more trendy and way less pricey. Let's see it.
