The Closures
It may seem obvious, but if your coat doesn’t have a good zip, drawstring or additional closing methods, all that heat you build up will simply escape the cozy jacket while you’re wearing it. Most coats will come with a zip and an additional strip of buttons for you to do up so that no hot air escapes while you are wearing them. Think of it as a sleeping bag! You don’t want to make a move and lose that coziness while you are out and about. There is nothing worse than a draft through your sweater. Check out this budget-friendly option from H&M.
The Length
Are you living in a super cold country? You might want to consider just how long you want your puffer to be. There’s nothing worse than cold legs or a draft that slips up under the button of your jacket. Longer coats are perfect for layering, and feel like you are wearing a socially-acceptable blanket outside of the house! Check out this warm and fashionable option from Diesel.
The Material
With a puffer, you never want it to feel like a weighted blanket. The best puffers are those which you can layer under and use as an insulation shell against the elements. When it’s made of recycled materials, that is an absolute bonus. Some puffers use feathers, so make sure you do your research before adding it to your shopping cart. Check out this classy option from Superdry.
Water-repellency
If you’re looking for a puffer, it’s probably cold where you live and with the cold comes the wet. Finding a water-resistant puffer isn’t a tough thing to do but with this feature, you should be choosing quality over the price tag. Water resistance wears off, so the higher the product’s quality, the longer this feature will last before you have to re-apply water-repellency products. Why not check out this recycled and water-repellant option from Calvin Klein. No matter which puffer you choose from these options, you can be sure you’ll stay warm, dry, and, of course, fashionable – always!
