Baby, it’s cold outside — is your puffer jacket pulling its weight? This winter staple is as essential as your trusty sherpa, faux fur, or classic wool coat. However, too many puffers look cute but barely survive a snowflake. This season, it’s all about jackets that deliver on both warmth and style, such as the sold-out-in-seconds neutral puffer from the Skims x North Face collab, Aritzia’s The Super Puff in a rainbow of colors, and the iconic DKNY long coat (a fail-safe for full-body warmth).
But the lineup doesn’t stop at these viral favorites. Levi’s denim puffer is rewriting winter cool. Hollister’s pink puffer might be sold out, but the black is just as cute — and possibly even more versatile. Athleta’s makes transitioning from Pilates to errands seamless, and Khy’s is flying off shelves in every cut and color.
This season’s puffers prove that your wardrobe needs more than just one. Ahead, shop the styles we’ve crowned the best.
Best Puffer Jackets & Coats: Classic Neutrals
Whether white, green, or beige, these neutral puffers go with everything — your winter wardrobe’s best friend, no questions asked.
Best Puffer Jackets & Coats: Black
A black puffer? Versatile, sleek, and peak functional. When in doubt, this is the one that gets it done.
Best Puffer Jackets & Coats: Long
Long puffers = maximum coverage, minimal effort. Perfect for when it’s freezing and you still want to feel wrapped up in your duvet.
Best Puffer Jackets & Coats: Glossy & Iridescent
Shiny, bold, and kinda-sorts extra: With their playful sheen, these puffers make bundling feel anything but painful.
Best Puffer Jackets & Coats: Cropped
Short on length, big on impact — cropped puffers are it for nailing that frigid-but-make-it-fashion vibe.
Best Puffer Jackets & Coats: Cozy Textures
Fleece, teddy, and soft-to-the-touch textures take cozy to the next level — the ultimate travel puffer that doubles as a pillow en route.
Best Puffer Jackets & Coats: Printed
If intense splashes of color aren’t your preferred way to make a statement, go for a print. Take your pick from charming gingham, bold leopard, girlhood bows, and florals.
Best Puffer Jackets & Coats: Quilted
Tailored fits and timeless quilting offer a clean, classic, and warm look without the bulk. It’s winter’s answer to fall’s must-have barn jacket.
Best Puffer Jackets & Coats: Winter Blues
From icy pastels to rich navy, blue is one of the season’s top-trending colors. When your trusty neutral puffer feels overplayed, these shades bring a crisp refresh.
Best Puffer Jackets & Coats: Adventure-Ready
Built for the slopes, but equally great for your morning coffee run, these puffers are designed to brace the elements and stylish enough for everywhere else.
Best Puffer Jackets & Coats: Colorblock
Unexpected color combos and graphic blocking give these puffers serious personality. They’re the winter coat equivalent of a power clash — bold, playful, and eye-catching.
