Men's Winter Jackets: Puffer or Long Jacket?

When the temperature drops, your jacket becomes the most visible part of your outfit. The two most useful styles for city winters are the puffer jacket and the longer jacket. Here is how to choose and how to wear each one.

The puffer jacket

A puffer is short, padded and easy to throw over anything: a hoodie, a tracksuit or a knitted sweater. It is the most casual option and works best with trainers and slim or straight jeans.

The long jacket

A longer jacket covers more and looks a bit more polished. Wear it over a sweater with dark jeans, and it works from day to evening.

Current styles are in our men's jackets collection.

A short jacket for in between

For autumn and milder winter days, a short jacket is lighter and easy to layer. Examples: Essential Pique Baseball Jacket in black and Biker Denim Ribbed Jacket.

How to choose

• Mostly casual, lots of layering: puffer.
• Want to look more finished: long jacket.
• Mild weather: short jacket.

Fit

Try the jacket over the thickest layer you plan to wear under it. You should be able to move your arms freely and close it without pulling. Check the size information on the product page.
