Perhaps the comfiest invention known to man, the puffer jacket reigns over all other outerwear once winter arrives. Whether you opt for a cropped iteration to wear with trainers and athleisure or a long, trailing duster paired with jeans and hiking boots, the puffer is the ultimate clothing chameleon.
The colour spectrum is also something to behold, with puffer jackets available in just about every hue. From the neon brights of Nike and North Face to the all-black stylings of Balenciaga and Acne Studios, the puffer jacket remains unchallenged in the fashion space. In 2020, Moncler x JW Anderson breathed new life into the style with a collection of primary-coloured coats in a spotted satin finish.
Similarly, Prada turned heads with its selection of padded blazers on the pre-fall catwalks, while Louis Vuitton kept things classic with a series of quilted jackets. Heading into 2021, the style looks like it will continue its domination, with a variety of styles hitting the shops just in time for the New Year. From longline coats to dark jackets, check out all the best puffers on the market right now…
Doubles As A Duvet
Warm Neutrals
In recent years, the popularity of North Face’s rainbow Nuptse puffer jackets has made bright colours cool. However, this year, we’re toning things down with an all-neutrals palette. From terracotta to eggshell, we’ve got our eyes fixed on warm colours this winter.
Doubles As A Duvet
Speaking from experience, these longline, quilted robe coats make it a teeny tiny bit easier to get up and go on chilly winter mornings.
Beige, Brown, Orange, Rust
In contrast to trending neon green, orange and pink, a warming palette of terracotta neutrals (boosted by Pantone’s Living Coral) are making a strong case for colours of the moment.
Practical Palette
Practical, utilitarian pieces (sometimes referred to as ‘Warcore’) continue to hold a special place in fashion. Think hiking boots, harnesses, Matrix-style glasses and Off-White’s industrial belts. In this political climate, the end of the world never feels far off – why not be prepared?
