See, a trusty puffer jacket is a wardrobe hero. Versatile, sporty and chic, it’s there for you when you need that extra layer of warmth to protect you from the wind, without compromising your ‘fit!

No longer are your humble puffers just a basic piece used for function, they’re a style statement within themselves. This season, we’re seeing both the classic neutrals as well as more bright and fun shades make their way to the stage. Silhouettes also vary, with everything from cropped numbers to longline, vests to oversize and matte to shine.

Our advice? Puffer jackets are easiest to style when paired with basics. We’re talking denim, activewear, sleek trousers and turtlenecks.

Here are our 6 ways to rock your puffer this season!

Running from pilates to brunch with the girls? It’s the perfect opportunity to pop on a puffer vest to add a dose of sporty chic. You have two options here. If you’re rocking a bright activewear set, look to a black or white puffer vest.

Otherwise, opt for a vibrant green or blue puffer vest over a sleek neutral gym set. Finish your look with clean white sneakers and pop on some oversized sunnies.

Another essential thrown in the mix. Your trusty pair of denim jeans are perfect to work with when it comes to styling your puffer. Reach for your favourite high rise jeans, from flared to skinny to mom. They perfectly complement the silhouette of a cropped puffer jacket.

Is there anything smarter than a pair of sleek trousers? Classy and stylish, they will instantly elevate your puffer. Polish your ensemble off with a turtleneck or a sweater. For a chic work look, just pop on some penny loafers or boots!

This one you’re going to like… Puffers pair perfectly with a chic matching lounge set. We suggest going for a coloured puffer vest layered over a grey tracksuit. Finish your look with some fresh white sneakers and a tote bag if you’re running to grab a coffee or do your weekly groceries.

We’re talking t-shirts, turtlenecks, ribbed tank tops and all your other wardrobe-essentials. Together, they create a super sleek look when paired with a puffer. Opting for slim silhouettes will allow the chunkier silhouette of a puffer to truly stand out too. Then, you can elevate your look with as many accessories as you like!

The cosiest of them all! You’re not winter-ready unless you have your puffers and knits ready to go. The best part? They work seamlessly together. Simply pop on a pair of denim jeans or tailored trousers for a smarter look and you’re ready to roll.
