Streetwear Meets Sportswear with this Winter Classic



Nothing says winter is coming more than trawling through the back of our closets to grab out your puffer jackets. From the crisp morning air to the evening chill, cooler temperatures call for layering up and staying cosy. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do it in style!

What was once born from utility has now become an absolute style staple with the puffer jacket. An iconic outerwear piece, the puffer jacket was traditionally worn alongside athletic silhouettes for outdoor activity but has now made its way into our everyday clothing collections. Puffer jackets have been dominating winter street style since the 90s, as the best source of warmth and bold proportions.

This season, we’re welcoming more contemporary cuts such as the cropped puffer jacket and longline puffer jacket into our jacket collections. Our latest puffer jackets differ from the old school styles we once wore for school camp or weekend sport. At Lorna Jane, our puffer jackets have been consciously crafted to stay flattering, breathable and lightweight, whilst providing the ultimate insulation.

Not sure if puffer jackets are right for you? We’ll take a deep dive into the latest puffer jacket trends and how to style them for any occasion.

What is a Puffer Jacket?

Today, the puffer look has become synonymous with style icons like Rihanna, Kendall Jenner and even vintage shots of Lady Di. However, just like so many of our winter favourites, puffer jackets sourced their innovative design from outdoor enthusiasts. The original design was invented in the 30s, when mountaineers crafted this fashion insulation. The puff design works by trapping the heat from your body in its layers. Their thick and stuffed style provides unrivalled warmth whilst staying lightweight and water-repellent.

Puffer jackets are known for a voluminous look that’s made up of horizontal quilted padding. Our styles use the plant-based insulator Sorona®️ that is actually warmer than standard polyester filling and still cruelty free. This design feature has been reinvented in a wide range of jacket styles and winterwear looks. From oversized hoods to asymmetrical zippers, puffer jackets can use an array of materials and colours to stay bold and on-trend.

How to Style a Puffer Jacket

Our collection of styles has played with different looks, reimaging classic outdoor coats in functional and fashionable designs. The balance between lightweight and warm has made our puffer jackets the ultimate outerwear for everything from daily wear to workouts.

This season, discover our collection of puffer designs with endless styling options. With high necks and adjustable toggles, our puffer styles are both functional and fashionable. Whether you're running errands, hitting the town, or hitting the slopes, a black puffer jacket is the perfect choice for both style and functionality.

Black Puffer Jacket

A black jacket is a winter wardrobe of staple, easy to style up or down no matter the occasion. For a chic and effortless look, pair your black puffer jacket with a basic tank, vintage denim and ankle boots. If you're looking for a more casual outfit, try pairing your puffer jacket with leggings and sneakers. Complete the look with one of our logo caps for the ultimate incognito vibe.

Cropped Puffer Jacket

Cropped jacket styles not only create a flattering look but provide the perfect transition piece between seasons. Our cropped puffer jackets keep the quilted jacket style, with a boxy silhouette and a waistline hem that’s ultra-flattering. Pair your cropped jacket with high-waisted pants to balance your proportions. The subtler shape of this design makes it perfect to layer over dresses or more feminine styles.

Long Puffer Jacket

A style we’re seeing a lot this season, the long puffer jackets have made a return to our winter wardrobe rotations. Featuring a longer silhouette extending past the hips to the mid-thigh, the long puffer jacket and long puffer vest plays with proportions to elongate the body while providing added warmth in cooler climates. Simple to take from gym into the weekend, layer over leggings and a sports-bra for an athleisure look or pair with jeans and a long sleeve top for a simple winter style.
