As the temperatures start to dip, it’s time to update your coat closet with the best puffer jackets and coats to wear all season long. The comfortable, cold-weather staple has never really gone out of style, but it certainly has maintained its high position within the outerwear market category as a wardrobe mainstay. In years past, we likely reached for a puffer when trying to achieve a sportier silhouette in our day-to-day wardrobes or may have thrown one on for outdoor activities. But as of late, a puffer coat has transitioned into a must-have when heading out of the house on chillier days. Luckily, current options for these fluffy, puffy, and plushy oversized coats are as fashionable as they are practical.

Meanwhile, we are predicting Sacai’s hybrid trench puffer to be a street style favorite this winter. Gucci’s interlocking G logo jacket is a top contender on our holiday wish list. Affordable styles abound as well, like The North Face’s iconic Nuptse jacket or a satin, shawl collar style from Banana Republic that rings under $300 and is one of our new favorite launches of the season.
