Love it or hate it, the puffer is absolutely everywhere. I know this because when the temps hit freezing in NYC on Monday, purchasing one of these lovelies became my mission to ensure I’m prepared next time. I’ve made it through many winters without one but for some reason I took notice to how happy & content everyone wearing one appeared to be. This compared to me, who was absolutely freezing my butt off in a red velvet vintage piece with no substance.
Thing is, I’m still empty handed. They just don’t appeal to me. I don’t know what else designers can do to these wearable sleeping bags to make them more stylish, but there must be something. Once I got my head around the fact that this purchase is solely for function, I decided the key difference among them is how fitted they are.
I started with full-length only, but may start looking for waist cuts. We had to walk away after a bit. They just all looked the same after awhile and we felt like we were banging our head against a wall. The puffer is certainly not a product that offers much individuality.
This Michael Kors looks great on BUT (big but here…) he used REAL FUR on the hood. nope – back on the rack.
Tried this on but the belt looks hideous on me. I’m tall and the belt doesn’t work. The coat is great though.
This one is on our short list.
ugh…maybe we’ll just wear a heavy sweater under our red velvet vintage piece.
