While I usually gravitate toward sleek wool coats and leather styles, when it comes to insulation you really can't do better than a puffer jacket. Though they took a backseat in recent years—overshadowed by the quiet luxury trend that favoured scarf coats and tailored outerwear—the chunky puffer’s cosy charm never really went away, and now that winter is at its coldest, celebrities have been coming back to the cosy layer like they never stopped.
With its casual energy and unbeatable comfort, I’m convinced it’s time to reintroduce this winter essential into my daily wardrobe. So, I’ve turned to some of my favourite celebrity looks for guidance on how to make a puffer coat look chic right now. Read on to discover the celebrity puffer coat outfits that have inspired me this season.
