Puffer coat season has come back around, and you’d be hard pushed to find a better winter warmer.
If you haven’t already done so, now is the time to stock up on all the wondrous winter wear that will help you to stay warm and stylish this season. Collared knits, joyful jumpers and a good boot all have their place, but when it comes to being as snug as can be, no piece of outerwear can truly compete with the puffer jacket. And happily, the high street is packed full of padded styles ready to warm you up.
Gone are the days of plain black and cream coats – bold pinks, greens and blues are taking centre stage this season, showing that we’re still dedicated to the dopamine dressing trend.
