There’s no denying that the puffer jacket has quickly become my new go-to coat. The oversized, padded shape and bulky design doesn’t seem like the most attractive outerwear of choice. But with options available in various lengths, colors, patterns, and materials, it’s way easier to style than it seems. It’s all about mastering proportion and silhouette. Today, I wanted to share some of my quick tips and tricks for making the puffer jacket a seamless part of your look. The best part about them is that you can score some great styles at unbeatable prices. In fact, Walmart has some of the cutest, on-trend coats, along with everything else you need to create that effortlessly chic winter ensemble. Read ahead for my puffer jacket style hacks.

Puffer Jacket

The coziest winter looks end with a warm puffer jacket on top. Since it’s usually the focal point of your look, you can try it in a light neutral color or a high-shine material. Walmart currently serves up the trendiest styles of the season from faux fur textures to mixed materials and more. I was enthralled with this Scoop puffer because the glossy finish lends more polished feel an outfit. It also adds a hint of edge, which is great for off-duty, weekend looks.

Cozy Basics

There’s nothing more appropriate to wear underneath a puffer jacket than a cozy knit. I typically opt for a sweater in a similar color as the coat for a luxe, streamlined outfit. For a more romantic vibe, replace the sweater with a knit dress, then add tights and boots. Going for cozy basics let the bulky silhouette shine.

Textured Leggings

One of the quickest ways to prevent puffers from looking frumpy and dated is to pair them with high-contrast silhouettes. My rule of thumb is that if your coat is oversized, wear leggings. If you’re wearing baggy jeans or wide leg pants, consider cinching your puffer coat at the waist or wearing a cropped style. I almost always go for skinny jeans or faux leather leggings.

Chunky Boots

Chunky boots are a smart way to make a puffer jacket feel more high-fashion. Go for something like this pair that’s lined with fur to step up the cozy factor. I also love how the chunky lug sole is both fashionable and functional. No matter your style preference, you’ll be able to find the winter boots you need from Walmart.

Winter Accessories

The last thing you need for the perfect winter look is accessories! You guys know how much I love pom pom beanies for a laidback finish. However, I’m also coveting shearling accessories, like faux fur bags, to add another layer of interest. I was surprised to find so many chic ones at Walmart that look just like those from high-end brands.
