Long Puffer Jacket

A long puffer jacket in Sand, with a nylon shell and lightweight padding that adds warmth without the bulky feel of a heavy winter coat. Made for women who want cover through the transitional months, it runs to a longer length that shields the hips and thighs from wind. The neutral Sand shade keeps it easy to pair.

When the mornings turn cold but a full winter coat feels like too much, this is the layer that fills the gap. The extended cut and roomy padding hold the warmth in while the shell keeps the wind out.

What makes it worth it

The longer silhouette is the point here: most puffers stop at the hip, this one carries down to cover the lower body, so you stay warmer standing at the bus stop or walking through town.

How to wear it

• Over jeans and trainers for everyday errands
• With a knit dress and ankle boots on the weekend

Practical touches include a sturdy zip, deep hand-warmer pockets and a hood.

Not for you if you need something for a long stretch of hard frost. This one is built for spring and autumn, or as a layer over a knit in colder spells, rather than deep-winter cold.
