For instance, this maxi puffer coat by Steve Madden is an absolute steal (select styles and sizes start at less than $70!), and it’s stylish to boot! Choose from one of five colors, all of which feature chevron quilting that keeps the insulation evenly distributed. While proper cold weather gear is worth the investment in our book, there are budget-friendly options out there that will get the job done. It’s so warm I can wear a thin shirt under and feel warm and toasty without all the bulk. I’ve tested this out in subzero New England conditions for several weeks and it lives up to all its promises. I was skeptical that this coat would be as warm as my North Face down coat but it is above and beyond. Happy customer: “I’ve been looking for a vegan winter coat option for years and wish I had found Noize sooner. And with nine lovely shades to choose from in sizes from XS to XXL, you’re sure to find one that suits you! We love their Gigi Parka, and would wear it whether we were vegan or not! It’s super stylish, with a nipped-in waist, asymmetrical front zipper, and a sweetheart hood lined with vegan fur. If you’re looking for a winter jacket that’s cruelty-free and contains no material sourced from animals, you can’t do better than a j acket from Noize, which has the PETA seal of approval and makes a wide range of vegan outerwear. Made from 100 percent animal-free, sustainable, PETA-approved materials.The quilting and cut of the Orolay winter coat - affectionately referred to “The Amazon Coat” - is a fan favorite because commenters rave it is universally flattering to all shapes and sizes. Take the Ultralight Packable Down Jacket and Sportoli Long Quilted Puffer Jacket - their diagonal lines elongate the body and make you look taller (no matter how short you are) and can even minimize a tummy or large rear end. The style of quilting on a puffer coat can also make you look slimmer. Like any jacket, cuts that taper at the waist - or are even belted like The North Face Sierra Long Down Parka - inevitably create curves that are flattering to every body type. How do I look thinner in a puffer jacket?īelieve it or not, it is possible to find a figure-flattering puffer coat that doesn’t make you look like Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (sorry but I couldn’t write a story about puffer coats without making that reference). It has actual heating panels that can be adjusted to your desired temp with the push of a button (you can also use it to charge your phone!).

If you live in an area that reaches sub-zero temperatures, you may want to spring for a heated puffer coat like this ActionHeat Women’s 5V Heated Puffer Jacket.

Bean’s Ultrawarm Coat is our favorite long puffer coat thanks to its water-repellant fabric, 650-fill-power down, and inclusive sizing. If you’re looking for extra-cozy warmth, opt for a long winter coat that covers your legs and will make you feel wrapped up in a blanket on even the most blistery of days. The Canada Goose Shelburne Parka holds up to extreme cold for this reason, but isn’t as bulky as you’d expect from a thick puffer coat. In terms of thickness, you can get warmth from certain lightweight puffer coats like this Ultralight Packable Down Jacket, but in general, the thicker the better. Fur- and faux-fur-lined hoods also provide added warmth in extreme temperatures (like this MICHAEL Michael Kors Belted Puffer ).

Down-filled puffer coats (like the this North Face Women’s Stretch Down Parka) are best for frigid temps, but there are plenty of vegan puffers (like this Gigi Parka from popular cruelty-free clothing brand Noize) that offer similar insulation without the down filling (think down-alternative comforters). We have an entire selection of the best winter coats for extreme cold, all of which include the three deciding factors of coat warmth: filling, thickness, and length.

(Those are the days the bus is always late, right?). I should have bought a puffer jacket, I think, while total-body shivering at my kids’ bus stop at 7 a.m. No matter how good I think my current winter coat is, on those blustery days in the deadest of winter, I inevitably kick myself for not springing for something warmer.
