Yes, You Can Wear This Winter Athleisure Trend in Spring Too
Whether you’re a fan of the athleisure trend or not, there’s nothing like the feeling of finding an item that not only looks great but serves a practical purpose too. That’s how we feel about lightweight puffer jackets—bright, fluffy, and, of course, warm. We’ve been keeping our eye on this outerwear staple ever since designers like Balenciaga brought the style to the forefront, and it’s safe to say that it’s not going anywhere. One look at the F/W 18 runway shows, and it's easy to see this trend is only getting started.
However, as the snow begins to melt and we start to see the signs of spring, it’s tempting to want to shed off that heavy wool coat to bask in the sunlight. While it might not the time to go completely jacket-free, these airy down puffers will keep you warm without the bulk of multiple layers. Shop some of our favorites below to wear them straight into spring.
