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.
