The 27 Sleekest Puffer Jackets for Winter

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Function is king when it comes to winter jackets. They simply have to work—to keep you warm and shield you from the elements. But they should also feel great and look great while they're at it. One of the most trusted takes on the coat—the puffer—does the warming, the styling, and the comfy hugged-in feeling required of all good coats deftly.

Start your puffer jacket considerations for this season here. There are a host of options to choose from, starting with the weight of the jacket. A lot of brands will include testing temperatures the coat is meant to keep you warm in, which is great for making sure that you're getting something that actually works the way you need it to. Some are lighter weight and packable, while others are heavier and warmer.

There is range in how exactly a puffer gets its shape, too. Most are down, and the way the stitching is designed contains the puffiness. The fewer the stitches, the bigger the puffs. For something more packed down, there are ones with denser stitching that make for a slimmer-fitting jacket. Start your shopping with these 27 puffer jackets you can buy right now and wear for many cold days to come.
