If you want to keep yourself warm
without sacrificing your sense of style this winter, stick around. Luxe Models
reveals how to wear a puffer jacket.
Ward off the chill
Any fashionista worth their salt
will tell you that it’s hard to guard yourself against the dipping temperatures
of a UK winter, whilst retaining your sense of style. You might want to think
about investing in a few puffer jackets, which according
to Huffington Post Canada, are set to be all the rage this winter.
Five styling tips
These coats will keep you
incredibly warm but if you’re not careful they’ll ruin your look. Here are five
tips you can use to ensure that you have the ability to rock a puffer jacket
this winter:
1) Think about length: It’s so hard to find the right length of puffer jacket; too long and it’ll swallow you whole, too short and it can exaggerate the “puffiness” of the piece. We’d suggest you go for a jacket that hits mid-thigh to strike a good balance.
2) Consider colour: It goes without saying that you should avoid jackets in bright shades such as neon pink and luminescent green. Yet we’d also advise you to ensure that you choose a shade of puffer which co-ordinates with the rest of your outfit, so the coat will add that finishing touch you need to craft a killer winter style.
3) Create a flattering silhouette: As we suggested earlier you need to balance out the puffiness of this jacket if you’re going to pull it off. That’s why you should think about teaming a puffer with skinny jeans, belts and statement heels to create a flattering silhouette!
4) Keep accessories minimal: If you’re thinking about pairing a puffer jacket with a big necklace, a bold scarf, or chunky bangles stop and think again! It makes enough of a statement on its own, so teaming it with a tonne of gaudy accessories won’t do you any favours.
5) Think outside the box: The puffer jacket market is really varied; you can get jackets without sleeves, puffers that resemble biker jackets, coats that feature fur-trimmed hoods etc. Shop around and find the puffer jacket that best suits your sense of style; that way you can fit it seamlessly into your existing wardrobe!
Pull it off
Wearing a puffer jacket might
make you feel like you’re walking on the edge of a cliff – one wrong move and
you’ll have a full blown disaster on your hands. However if you use these tips
from Luxe Models, you’ll be able to rock the puffer jacket and wrap up warm
this winter!
