Venturing outdoors in the winter is inevitable and puffer jackets for women will keep you warm amid bitter temps. It’s hard to resist the utilitarian appeal and accessibility of a good puffer and the coat has become so popular that you no longer need to drop big bucks on designer.

When your teddy bombers and lightweight jackets just don’t deliver the warmth you need, it’s time to invest in one of the best puffer jackets for women (which despite their sporty nature, can still appear polished when styled correctly). No matter how you wear it, though, it’s a must-have for errands, winter walks, and hikes alike. So grab a pair of lug sole boots, a giant scarf, and a knit balaclava, and set yourself up for your warmest winter yet.

Long Puffer

Everything but the zippers and trim on this hooded puffer jacket are made from recycled material so much that it takes 60 plastic bottles to make one of these winter jackets. The water-resistant, windproof fabric and adjustable hood offer extra warmth without the usual bulk for a tailored look.

Puffer Cropped Jacket

We’re getting a little bit ’80s and a whole lot of personality from this cropped puff, which has a drawstring waist and a trippy pattern that will keep all eyes on you. They are filled with down insulation or synthetic fibers, both of which can provide a high level of warmth depending on how well they are made and the quality of the synthetic fibers.

Puffer Thick Parka Jacket

Parka is a kind of long coat that comes well-insulated and a hood lined with fur. You will find different types of fur around your parka hood. But anorak is a jacket, which is smaller than a parka and can be used as a pull-over; however, a parka comes with an open front.

Warm Down puffer jacket

The down jacket, known more commonly in the fashion industry as a puffer jacket or simply puffer, is a quilted coat which is insulated with either duck or geese feathers. Air pockets created by the bulk of the feathers allow for the retention of warm air. A down jacket is a jacket which has been insulated with the soft and warm under feathers from duck or geese. Down is a fantastic insulator as the loft (or fluffiness) of down creates thousands of tiny air pockets which trap warm air and retain heat, thus helping to keep the wearer very warm in cold winter weather.

Turndown Outerwear Puffer Coat

Give your puffer coat a more romantic vibe by pairing it with a warm wool or knit midi skirt. For extra chilly days, add knee high boots and tights for a look that proves the utilitarian jacket can look extra chic. Keep your look balanced by styling pieces with contrasting silhouettes together.
