At first, I said I needed them because I was moving to the East coast. Then, it turned into needing every color to match my outfits. And now, I think it’s time to admit that I am simply *addicted* to puffers.
California or Pennsylvania – I don’t care, puffers are a wardrobe staple. I don’t know what it is about this year, whether you’re skiing or taking a walk around the block, you’re fit for a new puffer.
So, if you know anything about me it’s that I long for a Montcler– but not for the price tag. So, I’ve taken it upon myself to narrow down my top 5 affordable, not-so-classic puffer picks.

Who doesn’t love a pleather moment? When I saw this puffer on the Zara website, I knew I had to have it. I wasn’t obsessed with the $70 price tag, so when I found an exact dupe on Shein, I snatched that baby up. This puffer elevates any outfit; people will think you know what you’re doing when you’ve got this on.

This puffer has become a staple in my wardrobe. Not only is it so cute (it looks much better in person), but it feels thick and keeps you warm. I love to layer this puffer with a hoodie or a chunky sweater. It always takes my outfit to the next level.

Oh, Abercrombie… It’s like I can’t seem to let you go. When I saw my favorite blogger post in this puffer just the other day, I knew I needed it. It’s different, it’s chic, it’s brown, and it’s on sale.

I know this one is technically not a puffer from first glance, but we’re going to qualify it as a puffer. Apparently I am late to the game because everyone knows about this coat. You don’t know about the Amazon coat? It’s ok, I didn’t either. But apparently we’re the only ones because even Oprah featured it on her website last year.
Out of all the puffers, this is the only one I don’t currently own (probably not for much longer). But I have seen it in person, and it looks and feels much more expensive than it is!

I was at dinner the other day and someone said “Your outfit is only as good as the jacket you’re wearing,” and it stuck with me. I’m obsessed with this bandana-style Adika puffer. It’s always good to have at least one jacket that’s out of the box, and this is definitely that. Not to mention it’s pink and sage – you’re going to be seeing a lot more of that this year! But I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this puffer is sure to elevate any outfit.
Which one is your favorite?
ILY,
Phil
