5 Best Ways to Style Puffer Jackets in 2026

Published

on

Winter chill doesn’t have to mean dull layers. The puffer jacket  has evolved into a playful, ready to elevate even the simplest outfit. From unexpected leather combos to bold, clashing prints, this jacket proves that warmth can be stylish and versatile. Here’s how to style puffers for maximum effect.

 

With Heels

The fashion powerhouse Jenna Lyons demonstrates her easy way for making everyday wear look elevated. She wore a minimalist beige puffer coat, black relaxed jeans and a pair of black heels. This adds a fresh take on puffer styling, moving beyond the usual boots pairing.

Monochromatic dressing is a reliable  way to make a puffer jacket look smart. This black puffer jacket elevates an everyday outfit when paired with matching head-to-toe pieces. For a finishing touch, add some bold earrings, a leather purse, and a pair of stylish sunglasses.

 

With Clashing Prints

Although puffer coats are essential, they don’t have to be dull. Add some colour to gloomy winter days with a variety of standout designs, such as animal-print pants or festive winter outfits. Bold patterns, unexpected textures, and playful contrasts  bring life and energy to a practical winter essential. From plaids to graphic motifs, mixing prints brings energy, personality, and character to cold-weather dressing, making it clear that warmth and style can exist together.

 

With Leather Trousers

This outfit shows that leather trousers can work well with a puffer jacket, despite their unconventional pairing. Opt for complementary colours, such as a khaki or cream puffer and black or brown trousers, rather than a full-black outfit, which can feel heavy or overpowering. Choose your accessories carefully as well; coordinating them with your leather trousers will create a well-balanced finish.

 

With Tailoring

A hybrid leather-puffer jacket is an excellent example of where form and function meet. Combining large outerwear with precise tailoring and knee-high boots creates a well thought out and put-together look.

How Leopard Print Became Fashion New Neutral

Published

on

Leopard print has subtly changed its image. It was once seen to be loud, bold, and exclusive to adventurous fashionistas. Today, it sits comfortably alongside black, beige, and denim as a modern wardrobe neutral that is simple, adaptable, and durable.

The history of leopard print started decades ago as a representation of flashiness and defiance. It carried an edge that seemed untouchable, from rock stars to former Hollywood stars. The change came when designers started to soften it by combining it with clean cuts, soft colors, and everyday items. As a result, the print no longer carried impact but instead blended in perfectly with daily clothing.

Celebrities significantly influenced this shift. Rihanna has continually demonstrated that leopards can be worn casually. She frequently pairs a leopard coat with basic jeans and a white t-shirt, allowing the print to take centre stage without taking over the look. Hailey Bieber, on the other hand, showed how well styled and wearable the print can be by embracing it in clean minimalist ways, imagine tailored leopard jackets over simple outfits.

So how do you style leopard print like a neutral? Start small. A leopard-print bag, belt, or shoe works just like a brown or black accessory. For clothing, balance is key. Wear leopard pants with a plain black top, or throw a leopard coat over an all-white or all-beige outfit. Denim is another perfect match, it grounds the print and keeps it relaxed.

The versatility of leopard print is what makes it so beautiful. Depending on how you wear it, it can be sophisticated, casual, or modern. It becomes one of your wardrobe’s most dependable pieces once you start viewing it as a base rather than a statement. Leopard print is ageless and no longer loud.
