With temperatures dropping everyday and snowstorms sweeping the country, it’s time to face the cold, hard reality: most of our cute outerwear options aren’t going to make it, and we’ll need to bring out our warmest puffer coat.
If putting on this heavy layer seems about as thrilling as going to the dentist, we understand. This coat is more useful than fashionable when it comes to coats. However, there are several ways to style a puffer so that it enhances rather than detracts from your entire image. To get started, all you need is some style inspiration.
Even a sleeping bag-like coat may look beautiful with the perfect pairings and a few key accessories, which may seem unattainable. We’ve compiled a list of adorable ways to wear a puffer coat below.
With Weather-Related Add-Ons
Even if your puffer coat is plain, adding winter accessories is an easy way to upgrade your look. Wear a checkered scarf, a fluorescent beanie, or even a fuzzy muppet hat, all of which may make a statement while also allowing you to express yourself.
With a Skirt or a Dress
Just because it’s puffer season doesn’t mean you have to give up your dresses and skirts. In fact, the proportions of a large coat and a snug, little mini are startlingly different. A comfortable puffer and a billowing maxi, which is a winter-friendly combination, are similar. To attract emphasis to the skirt, pair it with knee-high boots and a shorter coat.
With Leggings/Tights
Puffy coats and slim-fitting bottoms are a marriage made in heaven with the development of jelly fishing. It’s a simple outfit to put together, but depending on the items you choose, you can dress it up or down. A mid-length choice worn over a cosy knit sweater and your favourite leggings is a traditional wardrobe concept that will keep you toasty against the winter winds.
Evoke Color
A easy get-ready strategy is to wear all black, but if you want to be a little more daring, match a bright coat with a color-blocked hat. Plus, you’ll be ahead of one of Spring 2022’s hottest trends.
Create a monochromatic look
Isn’t this a fun and easy concept? Selecting a puffer coat that goes well with the attire you’re wearing underneath. It’s not necessary to make it a perfect match, whether it’s vivid or neutral; varied tones within the same colour family can work just as well.
Highlight Your Sweatshirt
Is there a way to style your puffer in a way that is both cool and casual? Wear a hooded sweatshirt with the hood protruding from the top. The added element adds interest to the outfit, and it’s the perfect throw-on-and-go look.
If a standard puffer coat makes you feel uneasy, consider changing it with a puffer vest, which will allow you to show off even more of your attire. It combines the finest of both worlds and keeps you toasty warm.
Maintain a good balance
Add a crop top or a tight turtleneck to define your shape and balance those proportions if you’re wearing a huge coat with other oversized pieces, like a baggy pair of sweatpants.
Returning to the Basics
A classic black puffer will never go out of style and will become a wardrobe essential for many years to come. Style your own version with an all-black ensemble for a sleek and classic look. A printed scarf is a great way to add some colour to your outfit.
Develop Texture
Teddy puffers are all the trend right now, so why not try a textured look with dazzling faux leather pants? It’s both warm and inviting, as well as adorably cute.
Accessorize
If you’re concerned about the bulkiness of your coat, a few important items will help you generate focal points throughout your outfit. Unzip the top to show off your piled necklaces, or throw on an over-the-shoulder bag for a pop of colour. Furthermore, a belt can’t go wrong when it comes to cinching your waist.
Coordination of Accessories and Shoes
If you don’t want to match your puffer coat to your clothing or accessories, another option is to match your shoes to your accessories. This season, platform boots are all the rage, so style them with a hefty headband, helmet, or gloves for a sleek winter outfit.
Keep It Warm
Many of us are still holding on to the warm garments we’ve been wearing for the past two years. So hold off on getting rid of your favourite essentials just yet. This style is ideal for a multitude of events, including breakfast and the gym, because a puffer and a sweat suit go together like peanut butter and jelly.
