The best: puffer jackets for her

The best: puffer jackets for her

A technical fabric that was once more associated with skiing and severe weather warnings has been given a contemporary makeover. This winter, if you need that extra protective layer when commuting to work but don’t want to be weighed down by heavy garments, the modern down-filled puffer coat offers all that and more. Many now come in a fitted silhouette and are just as easy to style with trousers and leather boots for the office as they are for going out at the weekend – or paring with leggings and ski boots for excursions in the snow.
