Despite its high-fashion credentials, a puffer jacket all too often becomes the default for less-than-glamorous activities – walking the dog, taking out the recycling, running to the gym – however this season, there are plenty of puffers, plus easy styling tricks, that will ensure you don’t have to choose between form and function.

Of course, there are countless outerwear pairings that prioritise warmth – a puffer jacket styled with a jumper and jeans is a popular outfit of choice for off-duty models at fashion week – however, at the most recent round of shows, there were also more polished options to be found.
One show-goer wore her black, duvet-style puffer with slimline black trousers and point-toe ankle boots, offering a more minimalist spin on the outerwear piece. (Arket’s upcycled down scarf jacket will serve you similarly this winter, plus it has a scarf to keep you extra snug.) Elsewhere, US Vogue’s Naomi Elizée Blue, paired a feathered-shouldered puffer (which already places her outfit in the “unsuitable for bin-day” category) with a simple flared skirt and knee-high boots.
So whether you’re digging out an old favourite to give it a new lease of life or looking to invest in a new style this season, this is one investment that you’ll never regret making – especially during a cold-snap. Scroll down to see and shop five ways to style them this winter.
