Once banished to the wardrobe wilderness of the mid-90s, the puffer coat has made its way back into the high fashion stakes over the last couple of years, and we are here for it. While the classic coats and trenches are always a good idea, the quilted and super snuggly texture of the puffer makes it the cosiest option for a chilly winter day and it’ll keep you seriously snug while showing off your style credentials. Win, win!
The sporty vibe of a puffer jacket has an effortlessly cool feel to it and your snuggly coat will instantly give the most simple of combos an athleisure spin that will have you looking like you’ve made an effort on even the laziest of days.
The winter puffer jacket is seriously popular and there are plenty of options available to choose from on the high street and online right now.
We have cherry-picked our favourite quilted cover-ups to create the ultimate edit. Happy shopping.

We love the simple shape and khaki colour-way of this classic quilted jacket. It’ll look great over a pair of jeans and snuggly knit for a casual weekend.

An elasticated waist and the wristbands on this beige-toned, padded piece help to add shape to your silhouette for a more flattering finish.
M&SM&S
The shouty red shade of this one guarantees to get you noticed for all the right reasons this winter. It is made with clever thermal fabrics that will add extra warmth while brightening your commute!

The off-white colour of this mid-length design has a designer-inspired feel to it, and we love that the fluffy faux fur trim is detachable. Two looks in one.

This softer spin on the khaki green has a pretty vibe and will work nicely right into early spring—buddy up with a lilac of sugary pink knitted beanie.

If you’d rather have something a little more fitted, this structured design is the one for you. The fluffy hood is great for a snowy day too.

This longer line, hooded number is like wearing a super snug duvet. The shower-resistant fabric and thick padding will keep you toastie on the school run.

The shorter length of this dark green jacket makes it slightly easier to style than a longer coat. Wear over leggings and a hoodie for a high-end, athleisure vibe.
As well as being popular on the catwalks and high street, the puffer jacket has been a big hit with the A-listers too. In need of some styling inspiration? Look to your fave celebs.
We love Emily Ratajkowski’s low-key approach to her puffer. She’s opted for a pink jacket and teamed it with baggy jeans and colour-pop trainers. Perfect off-duty cool.
Meanwhile, singer Ellie Goulding gave her puffed-up piece a glam rework by layering it loosely over her blazer dress for the red carpet. We love this unexpected, high-end spin!
