Jacketee Journal
A good puffer jacket is the most practical thing you can own in winter. The challenge is that there are now dozens of styles to choose from. Three are leading search interest this season: the oversized puffer, the cropped puffer and the puffer with a fur hood. Each suits a different lifestyle.
The Oversized Puffer
An oversized puffer has a relaxed, roomy cut that works for every body type and every gender. It leaves plenty of space for hoodies underneath and has a confident, streetwear look. Searches for women's oversized puffer jackets in particular have grown strongly this year.
- Best for: layering, unisex wear and relaxed everyday style
- Look for: a detachable hood and a hem that covers the hips
The Cropped Puffer
A cropped puffer ends at the waist. It pairs well with high-rise jeans, cargo trousers and dresses, and it keeps your outfit from looking bulky. It is a favorite for city days and evenings out.
The Puffer with a Fur Hood
A faux fur hood frames your face and blocks cold wind, which makes a real difference on very cold days. A removable trim gives you two looks in one jacket. Black and white versions are the most searched, and cropped fur-hood puffers are rising quickly.
Matte or Glossy?
A matte shell looks understated and classic. A glossy shell catches the light and gives a more fashion-forward finish. Glossy puffers have been gaining popularity, especially in black.
Plus Size Puffer Jackets
A well-cut plus size puffer should give room through the chest and hips without adding unnecessary bulk. Vertical quilting lines and a defined hood help keep the shape balanced. Always check the size chart and measure a jacket you already love for comparison.
Shop the Styles
Choose the Oversized Puffer Jacket for a relaxed unisex fit, or the Women's Hooded Puffer with Faux Fur Hood in cropped or hip length, matte or glossy, with sizes up to 4XL. Both can be personalized with embroidery or a back print.
