17 Puffer Jackets That Make Being Bundled Look Chic

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, and my dear, it's time to bundle. Yes, winter is full throttle, and it's time to make room in your closet for coats that actually keep out the chill. Frigid temps and maybe even snow blizzards have begun to make their mark, and sadly, your thin quilted jackets alone aren't enough to brace against the cold. Instead, it's time to bring out the trusty queen of winter outerwear: puffer jackets. The fluffy padded marshmallow outerwear is the most reliable for frosty weather. Whether it means upgrading your much-loved Patagonia or browsing for more luxe styles like the Moncler puffer jacket, we've got you covered. 

Once the unofficial uniform for hitting the slopes and grabbing a cocoa après-ski, puffers are now a fashion trend prioritized by everyone from North Face to Acne Studios. The stylish outerwear is far from the simplicity of its '80s and '90s stylized predecessors. The modern puffer jacket is bigger, better, and bolder, featuring new additions like glossy silhouettes, color block options, and details like built-in ties that'll cinch your waist. That goes to say there's nothing wrong with the loyal all-black puffer jacket. Embrace your coziest winter ever in one of the best puffer jackets up ahead.
