How To Style A Cropped Puffer Jacket Like A Cool Girl
The cold isn’t going anywhere, but you sure are! The cropped puffer jacket is the perfect layering piece to keep you both warm and stylish on the go.
Cropped puffer jackets have increased in popularity over the last few months, as they provide a vastly different silhouette than the wool coats and quilted jackets that are already in our closets. The cropped puffer is a fun take on a heavier jacket, insulating you with warmth and easily coordinating with any of your favorite winter outfits.
And while we may have viewed the puffer jacket as childish or boxy in the past, the fashion girlies are styling this winter essential in a variety of effortlessly cool ways. Whether you typically dress in comfy activewear or classic winter fashion during the coldest months of the year, influencers who identify as “it girls” have demonstrated the wide range of outfits that can be created with this cute outer layer.

With Ugg Mini Boots
These iconic boots are the perfect companion for a cropped puffer jacket, especially when styled for ultimate comfort. Paired with leggings or a wide-leg pant, the puffer jacket adds a simple yet warm statement that completes an already put-together look. The cool girls also style their Ugg boots (or Birkenstock Boston Clogs) with white knit socks, which adds a color contrast to their look as well.
With Wide-Leg Pants
Unless you’re styling your cropped puffer for athletic or athleisure wear, the key to cool girl energy is wide-leg pants. Wide-leg jeans are becoming an increasingly popular style of denim, which will balance out the puffy portion of the cropped jacket, as long as the denim sits high on your waist. The same works for any other pair of wide-leg pants, but you’ll want to make sure the material is thick enough to keep your legs warm in the winter chill. Add a few accessories (more on that later), and you’re ready to take on your day!
With the Essential Accessory
Another important tip from the cool girls is the inclusion of one essential accessory – the baseball cap! This subtle nod to athletics encompasses an effortless approach to the rest of your outfit, all while looking completely put-together. Represent your favorite team, or grab a cute hat in a fun color!
With Bold Colors
FP Movement became the it-girl brand last year, which means that colorful puffers are here! Matching the overall aesthetic of the brand, the puffer is typically paired with some of the other comfy, cute favorites, like the Hot Shot Onesie!
With the Clean Girl Aesthetic
Mob wife may be in, but the clean girl will undoubtedly never be out. Check off the essentials: mini gold hoop earrings, a claw clip, black sunglasses, and minimal makeup for the ultimate "What? I just threw this on" look.
