When I moved to Washington state, I exited the plane, and someone handed me a puffer coat. Like a Pacific Northwest party favor. Had I flown private, they would have handed me a Canada Goose coat.

When I lived in D.C., many women wore puffers to shield them from the chill of commuting. Here, in the Upper Left - where the weather is as cold, as it is wet - they wear them everywhere. So here are a few puffers that can keep you warm, and keep you from looking like the Michelin Man designed your outfit.

Bernardo Packable Puffer ($150) (also in plus)

Leopard Print Puffer Vest ($90) (also in petite) Sam Edelman Pillow Collar Belted Puffer ($150) Athleta Lofty Down Jacket ($198) Cole Haan Box Quilt Puffer ($165)

Talbot's Down Puffer ($199) (misses, plus, petite, petite plus)

And, of course, what would a puffer roundup be without the Amazon puffer coat from Orolay ($109)
