Pump Up The Volume: Puffy Jackets Inflate Chic

By Marjon Carlos

That flimsy peacoat can't help you now—with the dropping temps, howling winds, and snow flurries, winter is coming on full force and taking prisoners right and left! It's time to suit up and break out the big guns: the puffy jacket. But don't be frightened by the clumsy, billowy silhouette that personified our childhood snowsuits, the options we've selected haven't left style out in the cold. We're sure you'll generate some heat in Henrik Vibskov's duvet anorak or Moschino's puffer sleeve coat, and become instantly attached to Helmut Lang's puffer mittens. For the winter months, we've discovered warmth plus style is the perfect survival strategy.
