In 2018, it seemed like all anyone wore, talked about, or posted was really big puffer jackets. It was almost as if the puffier your jacket was, the more street cred you had. Influencers, celebrities, and fashion girls alike took to the trend with ease and excitement as they proudly walked down the street, nearly knocking everyone over in the process. This extra-large puffer trend emerged at the peak when coat trends felt more like a shock factor than a way of dressing. I mean, back in 2018, this look was probably styled with micro sunglasses and chunky Balenciaga Triple S sneakers, and that was something we considered normal? Luckily (depending on who you ask), the fashion industry has shifted away from all the frills and gimmicks toward a more stylized and wearable set of collections and trends that won't get you weird stares as you walk around outside.

But to bring it back to puffers—an extremely relevant topic considering we are now in the coldest time of the year—if the oversize puffer was 2018, the tonal plain puffer you can wear with literally anything is so right-now. We aren't even that far into winter, and already the fashion set is whipping out simple puffers and styling them in ways that are actually approachable. Complete with warm color palettes of creams, tans, browns, and more, all those crazy-colored, patterned puffers that fit in no closet I've ever seen suddenly feel obsolete. This new wave of puffers also includes puffer vests, which I personally feel will be a fresh update to my all-too-often-repetitive winter wardrobe.

Ahead, see exactly what this new wave of puffer dressing and styling is all about, and shop 16 of the best ones on the market from the best coat brands.
