Hello and Happy Holidays Readers
Finally got round to writing up my third blog post and part 2 to my Winter Coat Guide. Here it is in all it's glory, The Puffer Jacket.
Replacing last season’s bomber as the infamous outerwear
go-to, the puffer jacket is dominating the high street and is welcomed with
open arms for it’s practicality and style. I myself have never been one for the
athleisure look and for most of my teen and young adult years avoided wearing
anything that wasn’t black or grey. I have always been a fan of the All Saint’s
Grunge look and was convinced I’d live out my days in the same black heel boots
and leather jacket combo. However, since beginning my career as a stylist and
putting together looks every single day, my taste has altered and I’m happy to
say I’m exploring new styles and making bolder outfit choices every day. Now
don’t get me wrong, I am still utterly obsessed with Dr Martens and will not go
out on the weekend without my trusty leather jacket, but I now whole heartedly
welcome colour into my life and make it my mission when I walk into a shop, to
hunt down the most crazy, textured, colourful piece of clothing I can get my
hands on.
Two trends I am allllll over this season are stripes and
anything red. The colour of the season has dominated my wardrobe the past few
months, whether it be a simple cross body bag, a red leather skirt I picked up
from a vintage store or my tassel earrings, I am living for this colour and
don’t think I’ll be straying away from my love for it any time soon.
So what would be better then to brighten up those winter
months with a statement coat that mixes functionality and style? This Puffer
Jacket from Urban Outfitters does just that, and with it’s bold colour and cord
fabric, UO have taken a simple jacket style from Sports to Chic without
compromising the element of warmth that we are definitely needing in the UK
this month.
Now unfortunately UO are out of stock of this particular puffer however i'll leave some links at the end of this post for similar styles and other puffers i am loving this season.
I’ve paired this jacket with my stripe trousers I purchased
from Nasty Gal in the Black Friday Sale, a plain old t-shirt and my Adidas
Reflective Superstars I bought a couple of years ago. I absolutely adore
wearing trousers at the moment and particularly enjoy purchasing any trousers
that stand out from a mile away. Stripe trousers are your best friend if
you’re on the shorter side and want to accentuate your legs. I’m not the
smallest gal but I just LAVVV crazy trousers and this season the shops seem to
be making my life difficult and my bank account worse off with their trouser
antics. Printed or striped trousers can completely transform your outfit and
are perfect if you’re feeling a little lazy with you style on a Monday morning.
I like to wear my printed trousers with plain black tops and any of my plain
outerwear pieces for a bold look that doesn’t scream “I got dressed in the dark”
but still allows you to be a bit wild.
Christmas is approaching and there is no doubt in my mind I’ll
be getting lost in the boxing day sales trying to hunt down more unnecessary
trousers and pieces I’ve had my eye on for the past couple of months. (S/O to
my lovely boyfriend who waited in the Zara queue last year for 45 minutes with
me just so I could buy tons of amazing stuff in the hustle and bustle that is
boxing day.)
Anyway, I’m going to hibernate for the rest of my Sunday and eat my weight in chocolate but keep your eye peeled for my last instalment of my Winter Coat Guide that’ll be going live later this week.
Thank you for reading and I hope you all have a great week!
