Some days, it’s just too cold outside to justify getting out of bed. (Sorry not sorry!) But other days, when the temperatures aren’t totally freezing and you really want to go grab a latte, plus-size puffer vests are the perfect outerwear pick. Not quite a full-blown puffer coat, but not something as lightweight as a sweater, puffer vests offer just the right amount of warmth. And in case you’re skeptical, let us assure you that these pieces really are cute enough to wear anywhere.
When functions gets an addition cute factor, we all win. And that’s exactly what has happened with puffer vests. What used to be preppy essential for days when the temperatures didn’t quite reach freezing has now become something we actually want to wear.
The black puffer vest hanging in your closet doesn’t have to make you feel like a giant burnt marshmallow. It can actually work as part of a chic fall and winter ensemble. Simply treat it as an accessory, rather than something that’s only there to keep you warm.
Of course, there are far more options beyond a classic black puffer (though we still love a good neutral). You can find just about any iteration of the puffer vest your heart desires—everything from metallic bronze to animal print (!) in long, medium, and cropped lengths. So even when you’re bundled up, you can still show off your personal style. Long live plus-size puffer vests.
