Hot take: I could go the rest of my life without winter. In fact, my mom loves to remind me how I acted during the season as a child. On a snowy Saturday afternoon, you’d find my older sister and younger brother in our backyard having frivolous fun, jumping off the swings into the powder to see who could land the furthest (my parents were never a fan of this slightly dangerous game). And then there was me, whining to come back inside after just two minutes. Even now, as an adult living in New York, not much has changed (besides the fact I don’t cry in public, I swear!). The one thing that gets me through the winter? A fun, mood-boosting coat. And this year, I’m looking to expand my collection by incorporating a printed puffer jacket into the mix.
Though I don’t partake in any snow sports or activities (I tore my ACL skiing in 2016, so it’s now a hard no for me), the Big Apple, of course, warrants a heavy-duty, high-quality coat. Over the past few years, I’ve relied on my joy-sparking bright green Aritzia Super Puff to help conquer the cold — and yes, you’ll catch me wearing the in-your-face look this season, too. But because I’m a sucker for a quirky print, I have a few patterned looks on my radar right now. For starters, Goldbergh has whimsical cotton-candy-like prints that have sparked my interest. I also have my eye on one of FARM Rio’s outlandish motifs, like its ultra-colorful, eye-grabbing Adidas style.
As for everything else making my list this season? Scroll ahead to see it all.
CIEL BLEU ski jacket
This pastel puffer reminds me of sweet, sugary cotton candy you’d munch on at an amusement park — and I’m fully here for it.
Goldbergh –Peter Pan Collar Printed Puffer Coat
I’ve never seen a puffer coat as romantic and feminine as this one from Anthropologie.
Anthropologie –Puffer Jacket
If I do decide to join my squad for a sled riding meet-up in Prospect Park this winter, I’ll be sliding down the hills in this sporty-chic jacket. (But don’t get your hopes up, friends.)
Adidas X Farm Rio –Leopard Midi Puffer Jacket
Leopard is my fave print of the season so, naturally, I stopped scrolling the second I saw this bold patterned look from GANNI.
GANNI –Reversible Printed Quilted Shell
Despite my feelings toward winter, I’d volunteer to venture outdoors any day if it meant I could rock this oversized floral vest from La Doulbe J.
La Double J –Green Tartan Blanket Puffer Down Jacket
I’d style this statement-making tartan print with my chunky black Ganni boots and neon orange Puma beanie — because why not?
Open YY –Lady Puffer Jacket
I’m a firm believer that fashion shouldn’t be overly serious, and clearly, so is Lisa Says Gah. Case in point: The brand’s cow motif.
Lisa Says Gah –Shirly Mixed Media Tweed Quilted Down Bomber Jacket
Thanks to this jacket’s high neckline, you can wear it without a scarf.
