Although they might be chunky, puffer jackets are too deliciously warm for us not to wear during the winter months, so it’s worth your while to make them fashionable. And it’s all about the styling.

Whether your puffer is long, short, in a cute colour or just plain black, trust us when we say that there is a way to style it cuter than you could ever imagine.

We’re so sure that we’re going to prove it to you. Here are five ways to style your puffer so fashionably, that you’ll forget that you ever saw it as a necessity rather than a fashion statement.

Wear It Oversized

An oversized coat is super in right now, so why not an oversized blazer?

This Ganni Ripstop Quilt Coat ($645) is super lush and could literally be worn as a top, paired with dress pants, a long woollen skirt or jeans, with some funky runners or heeled boots. The sky is the limit with this one.

Wear It As a Statement Vest

We love a vest moment. A puffer vest is a great way to wear a puffer, keeping you warm and adding a bit of sports luxe fantasy.

This Unreal Fur Python Puffer Vest ($299) is a statement in and of itself. You could wear it with high-waisted pants like the model above, over a tight knitted dress, or even over your activewear on your morning run.

Layer It Up

Layering is an art form, but it’s pretty unbeatable if you do it right.

Pair this Cotton On Recycled Mother Puffer Jacket ($79.99) with a jumper underneath to create a casual layered look. You could go for a camel-coloured turtleneck with matching pants for a dressier fit, or a cable knit with jeans like the model above. Pair either of those outfits with some cream-coloured boots and you’re ready to slay the day, rain, hail or shine.

Cropped

Wearing a cropped puffer instantly looks cooler. The cropped length looks super good with a shorter crop top underneath and some loose-fitting high-waisted pants or jeans.

This Subtitled Casey Cropped Puffer Jacket ($129.95) is really chic and simplistic, meaning it could be paired with literally anything.

Match It With Your Outfit

This is a no-brainer. Simply by matching colours you can elevate an outfit, with a really refined and high fashion edge.

With chocolate brown being super on trend right now, this Nobody’s Child Oversized Wrap Quilted Coat ($270) matched with a chocolate brown crop top or dress underneath is all style. You could take it one step further and match it with a chocolate brown lip, and/or do your hair up with a chocolate brown ribbon.
