It’s officially vest season: the time of the year where it’s cold enough to need some kind of outer layer but not cold enough to warrant a full-scale winter coat. In recent years, the puffer coat has gone from a useful piece of outerwear to a fashion must have, and nowadays, the same can be said of the puffer vest. We’re seeing the silhouette everywhere, and if you’d like to try the trend, these are the 12 pieces we’re loving right now.
From a cool leather option to cropped silhouettes, these are the best puffer vests we’ve seen on the market. There are great options you could wear for an outdoor workout or walk, as well as sleek pieces to throw on with jeans or trousers. Our standout favorites include a colorful option, a belted look, and a lightweight piece that can be worn on its own or layered underneath a coat for extra warmth. Plus, there are a bunch of pieces with exaggerated shoulders, which add a little bit of drama that we’re very into. Keep reading to shop our selections!
