Once strictly limited to the ski slopes, the puffer coat is now an every-winter-day wardrobe staple. And, thanks to the lightweight modern puffer, the price of warmth is no longer looking like the Michelin man.
Puffy, padded and comfortable beyond measure, these should see you through the chilliest cold snap, proving you don’t need to compromise on style to stay wrapped up warm.
Here’s our selection of the most colourful, fun and functional pieces for men and women – plus-size and petite.
