As the power puffer finds new fashion footing — we round up the most chic and cosy iterations to shop now

When winter rolls around and the chill sets in, it’s tempting to prioritise staying warm above all other considerations — including aesthetics. Luckily, there’s one piece of kit that never fails to keep us toasty while also imparting a hefty dose of style cred to an ensemble: the puffer jacket.

As designers continue to play with scale, colour and texture, the once utilitarian puffer jacket has found new fashion footing — and here, we explore the season’s most chic (and cosy) options.
