Challenge #174: How do you style a puffer?
For a laid back look with a puffer vest I love to mix texture and pattern. I try to keep my look tonal with different patterns on each layer. Don’t be afraid to mix prints, it’s an easy way to add dimension to a look.

Puffer jackets are often associated with casual styling. To boost the level of fashion in this practical piece I went for a leopard print puffer paired with a clean and modern sweater dress. This look proves that functional can be fashionable.

Living in a city where the weather can be extremely cold, it’s necessary to find a creative with the indoor playground gilbert az way to survive the freezing climate. A duvet coat or a cozy puffer is a oversized statement item that can be tricky to wear. To avoid looking sloppy, I chose a cropped fit in sleek, pink satin. The soft, unexpected hue helps give it a more polished look.

I choose this tweed vest from Old Navy because it looks more sophisticated and dressy compared to your typical down-filled vest. I’m wearing it with the mustard-coloured sweater and plaid scarf to add a pop of colour and texture with the extra layers. My black distressed skinny jeans give the whole look a more edgy and urban aesthetic.

As a busy mom, my puffer jacket is my go-to. A short version can literally take you from the gym in your workout clothes, to meetings if you wear it with a great pair of leather leggings and a more formal sweater or shirt. My favourite way to pair it is with a longer layer underneath and a great skinny jean or legging. It’s a versatile piece that works all winter long.
