Winter Fashion

If you live somewhere that gets very cold weather during the winter, a puffer jacket or puffer coat is a must have in your closet. I would even argue that having a few of them is necessary especially is you are wearing one nearly every day for 3-4 months straight. I grew up somewhere that was quite mild during the winter so I never really had a good appreciation for puffer coats until I moved to NYC after college and had to find a good one ASAP. There were options but so many styles made me look like a marshmallow and I had to search for ones that looked stylish but still allow me to stay warm. If you are on the hunt for a new puffer coat this winter, here are 10 chic styles at all price points.

10 Puffer Coats At All Price Points

Aritzia Apres Super Puff

The Super Puff coat is a long time top seller for Aritzia. They come in a million different lengths, colorways, finishes, etc but if you want a simple short coat for winter or winter activities, this is a great option.

Sam Edelman Puffer Coat

I bought a Sam Edelman puffer coat nearly 7 years ago and still wear it every winter. They are priced relatively well (especially on sale) and fall in the mid range when it comes to warmth. I also love that this comes with a removable fur collar which elevates it a bit more than other puffer coats.

Alpenhaus Arly Elongated Hybrid Lightweight Puffer Coat

I have not heard of this brand before but literally gasped when I saw this style. It is SO CHIC!!! The cinched waist and contrasting textures make it really stand out from other styles.

Varley Valencia Down Puffer Coat

I love all things Varley and their puffer coats are no exception. I particularly like the length on this one which is a tad longer than waist length but not quite mid thigh. Also the zipper goes all the way to the top of the collar which is perfect when it’s very windy and you can zip your coat up to protect your face.

Reiss Colette Quilted Longline Puffer Jacket

A belted puffer can either be hit or miss but in this case, it is a HIT! This coat is a splurge but a complete stunner. Something you will have forever and easy to dress up or down.

Varley Ana Long Wrap Coat

There is very little structure or shape to this puffer coat which makes it the perfect choice when wearing big bulky clothing underneath. While I enjoy a fitted puffer coat, they are often too constricting when I am wearing all my winter clothes.

Lululemon Featherweight Long Puffer Jacket

The shiny red of this puffer jacket immediately caught my eye. Not everyone wants a neutral coat especially if it’s the only thing people will be seeing for months on end. A bold color like this is a great option to add some color to your winter wardrobe.

Levi’s Water Resistant Size Zip Maxi Puffer Coat

If you want a simple and straightforward puffer coat with no frills or details, this is the one for you. And right now it is on major sale!

Boden Longline Padded Coat

I shared the image on the back of the coat for this one because it’s the pink stripe that makes the whole thing. LOL The green is the perfect neutral to wear with anything but that small pop of pink makes it so much more interesting.

Lauren Ralph Lauren Pillow Hood Longline Down & Feather Jacket

A hood is a necessity with a puffer coat but often they can really bring down the entire style of the coat. I am OBSESSED with this stand up collar that also doubles as a hood because it looks a bit more polished than most puffer coats. Especially if you work in a professional environment and need a warm coat to wear with dressier pieces, a style like this is what I would recommend.

My Most Worn Puffer Coats

Amazon Long Puffer Coat

As featured in my comfy fall/winter outfits post, this long puffer coat is a favorite for the winter. It looks great with athleisure outfits and slightly more elevated looks as well. It’s not extremely fitted so I can easily layer thicker pieces underneath and still not feel uncomfortable.

Amazon Short Puffer Coat

This was an impulse buy one winter because I loved the color (and the price is under $40). Surprisingly it has become one of my most worn puffer coats when I want something shorter and more lightweight. It cinches at the waist which gives it a flattering shape.

Amazon Mid Length Puffer Coat

This is my most worn puffer coat out of all the styles I own. It’s VERY warm and quite roomy so it allows for easy layering underneath.

Quilted Longline Coat

I love this coat for running around day to day in the winter. It’s lightweight but more warm than you would think. It’s a classic style that seems to look good with just about anything I pair with it.

If you are struggling with what to wear to all the holiday parties that are non-stop during this time of year, there are some great basics that you can buy which will be easy to rewear year after year. Classic fabrics like velvet and sequins never go out of style so it’s worth buying some festive pieces that you love and repurposing them with different accessories each holiday season. Here are some festive fashion finds under $200 to help make your holiday party outfit planning much easier.

Festive Fashion Finds Under $200

Structured Velvet Blazer

A velvet blazer is an all-time holiday season staple and definitely something you can wear for the rest of the winter. It looks great with denim, sequins or a pair of classic trousers.

Beaded Tassel Earrings

I love these simple sparkly tassel earrings to wear with any festive holiday look.

Silver Metallic Ellory Turtleneck

Especially for holiday work events you want to keep your outfit festive but still professional. Adding a metallic turtleneck under your blazer could be a great way to achieve this delicate balance.

Hunter Green Velvet Etta Mini Dress

If there is any time of the year where forest green velvet is the preferred fashion choice, it is definitely the holiday season. And the tuxedo cuffs add the best detail!

Platina Renee Mules

Metallic shoes are a neutral always so investing in a pair to wear during the holiday season and after will always be a great decision. These simple strappy gold mules will go with any evening outfit any time of the year.

Knitted Sweater with Sequins

I own so many sparkly sweaters that I have collected over the years because they always come in handy during the holidays. I love wearing a sweater like this with dark denim and black ballet flats for a holiday lunch with friends.

Cranberry Satin Gabrielle Clutch

A red satin clutch is the perfect accompanying piece to an all black holiday look. Add a deep red lip to complete the look!

Sequin Maxi Skirt

While a sequin skirt is definitely not the most versatile clothing piece, it will be something that you can rewear year after year. A sequin skirt will never go out of style and always look chic during party season.

Sequin Mini Skirt

If you don’t want a maxi version, a sequin mini skirt is always a great alternative. Pair it with a cozy sweater or white tuxedo shirt with a crisp collar!

Rhinestone-embellished Slingback Shoes

You can instantly take a classic look like black trousers + a simple crewneck cashmere sweater and add embellished flats to instantly make it holiday party ready.

Rhinestone Shoulder Bag

While this bag is great to wear during the holidays, this is the kind of evening bag that you will use all year long.

Mini Jacket Dress

There is nothing quite like a tuxedo jacket dress for a holiday party outfit. It will always skew a bit more edgy and fashion-forward but never go out of style. Add some sheer tights and a fabulous black heel to complete the look.
