I think we can all agree that it has been a long winter. Between the record low temperatures and record high snowfalls, many of us have let our stylish threads take a backseat to more practical ones. Is there anyone who thinks frostbite is cute? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Despite the biting weather, dressing like a bona fide street style star is still possible.
Before you reach for your trusty peacoat, consider a different coat style to protect you from the nippy elements. I’m referring to the puffer jacket! Now, I know that you may have your doubts about its appeal factor but the down-filled jacket has made a big comeback. The key to finding a flattering puffer jacket (because no one wants to look like a marshmallow) is to find a less puffy puffer jacket.
This Fashionista nailed the look by sporting a streamlined puffer coat in a silvery gray shade. The soft, ribbed cuffs and thigh-length silhouette helps keep in the warmth when the mercury starts to drop. Also, one of the best things about a puffer coat is that it is water repellent so you can take on the vacillating weather with confidence. The Fashionista paired a tan sweater and black skinnies with her no fuss coat. She punctuated her ensemble with a pair of cognac-colored booties. For added sparkle, she accessorized with her favorite pearl earrings and Ray-Ban aviators. Without a doubt, I’d wear her laid back outfit everyday if it were socially acceptable.
