Puff Daddy

We’re suckers for a practical street style trend (just look to our piece yesterday about the pair of comfortable boots that swept Fashion Month). And luckily, this year we can count an outerwear trend among the things that will keep us equal parts chic and sensible over the next six months.
In an odd twist of fate, puffers are having a moment right now.
The puffer jacket, once considered the champion of the après-ski look, is now this season’s most wearable wardrobe update. While our friends in the north have been in the know for years, it sometimes takes a label like Balenciaga to give the universal blessing to make them a sartorial statement.
Given that they provide actual comfort and real protection against the elements, we’re totally crushing on this fashion development. And our general mood is the bigger and brighter, the better. Oversized and exaggerated styles have been spotted on some of our favorite street style stars over the past month, with stand-out colors like red, pink, and silver being particularly swoon-worthy. If you prefer a more understated approach, black or olive green versions with cropped silhouettes will keep you toasty through this season and many more to come.
As much as we hate to even think about winter coming, the options ahead are ones worth investing in now, way before the cold weather actually hits...
