These 12 Puffer Coats Will Make Winter More Cozy and Delightful
While the holidays are behind us, winter still looms ahead, and never has a well-equipped wardrobe for the snow, ice, and general chill been more paramount. While spending much more time at home over the past year, the art of the walk—now for exercise and oh-so-essential clearing of one's head—has become the new chose à faire. Enter the down jacket, which in fashion history's eye, has been the pinnacle of winter luxury and innovation, was first created by Eddie Bauer in 1936 after he almost fell victim to hypothermia during a midwinter fishing excursion. Since then, designers have followed his lead and created functional and fantastic outerwear that mimics the warmest of eiderdowns, and the ante has only been upped with this season's latest imaginings. So here's to one or two of these polished puffers making the next few months warm and wonderful. And what we are looking for next? The quilted silk bed jacket (popular during the 1950s and '60s) to make a roaring comeback!
