Welcome to The Essentials (opens in new tab), our weekly series highlighting a must-have classic, key to building a timeless, pulled-together closet.
One of the most critical pieces in a winter wardrobe is a legitimately warm coat (opens in new tab). Fashion tends to take a back seat when the temperature hits below zero—but that doesn't have to be the case with puffer jackets. The puffer, a plush and cozy staple, can come in various colors, textures, lengths, prints, and price points, but one thing is critical: It needs to keep out the elements. Whether you're hitting the slopes or walking around town on a chilly day, the best puffer jackets will keep you warm and looking super stylish to boot. Ahead, discover our favorite puffers in varying lengths, ranging from versatile neutral designs to highlighter hues and luxe textures.
This packable puffer will add a pop of color to your winter wardrobe without breaking the bank.
