Best Puffer Down Jackets for Fall/Winter 2018

Every versatile wardrobe should have a puffer jacket for its Fall/Winter 2018 rotation. The cozy outerwear piece has steadily gained steam over the past few years for its stylish volume and its ability to keep you warm during the harshest weather. In many ways, the puffer jacket encapsulates all of fashion’s biggest trends of the season: bulkier silhouettes, utility codes and a more casual approach to dressing. But it also excels in situations when it’s too cold to care about fashion.

While the puffer jacket is relatively consistent in silhouette, there are several features that make each piece unique. Differences in filling (down to synthetic), outer shell material, cut and other additional details (hoodies, hardware, pockets) offer plenty of choices and designer variation.

With that said, we’ve gathered 21 of the best FW18 puffer jackets from all corners of the fashion sphere, ranging from heritage performance labels and craftsmanship experts (Patagonia, Stone Island, C.P. Company) to luxury offshoots (Gucci, Burberry, Balenciaga) and streetwear favorites (A-Cold-Wall*, Aimé Leon Dore, ALYX). We’ve ordered it by price from most affordable to investment-worthy.
