What to Wear in the Dead of Winter

Five Puffy Coats that will Transform Your Outfits

With extreme winter temps (-20 anyone?!), the only coat you’ll be reaching for is an insulated one with lots of puff. From cropped ski bunny styles, to long puffer trenches, these coats will get you through the coldest days in comfort and style.

1. The Cropped Puffy Coat

Always cute with jeans or leggings and a big pair of boots (Moon Boots for the win!), this cropped style feels fresh and can easily go from the slopes to the streets.

2. The Classic Mid-Length Coat with Hood

Dare I say this is the ‘Mom Coat’ for winter, but it is so frickin’ practical and still has that elevated design nod when you invest in one from Moncler. The price is high, but this is a forever piece you’ll get tons of millage out of.

3. The Ranch Style Puffer Coat

You live in the Rocky Mountain West, so yes- you can have a barn jacket style coat that is insulated and it will absolutely work with your outfits. In fact, these are the pieces that make mountain living style what it is without looking like a costume. Lean in.

4. The Nano Puffy Jacket

This is the one you didn’t know you needed until you have one and can’t live without it. Use it as a lightweight layer on warmer/ sunnier days (especially while out for a cross country ski), and indulge in the double coat option on those negative temps days (or nights) without the bulk.

5. The Puffer Trench

The trench coat silhouette is making a comeback, but we Wyoming women know that a full length insulated coat is essential for the coldest days in winter. This one has some nice design details that add form to function.
