As we transition from fall to winter, now’s the perfect time to update your cold-weather wardrobe. In addition to a fresh pair of boots, a chic new coat, and anything else you may be eyeing this season, consider snagging a puffer vest to keep you warm and cozy.
Available in a wide range of colors, price points, materials, and silhouettes, the best puffer vests are exceptionally great for layering over your favorite knits, sweaters, hoodies, tees, and more, depending on the weather. Also, unlike traditional puffer jackets, puffer vests are more lightweight and far less constricting (read: you can easily lift and move your arms freely).
