One might argue that leather is a wardrobe staple that's been around for decades, but there's also no denying how much of a moment it has been having as of late. From leather jackets to leather pants, leather blazers, and leather trench coats, and even leather perfumes, the buttery-soft material has dominated almost every category of the fashion and beauty industries. And now, with winter just around the corner, it's getting one more fresh iteration: the puffer jacket.
Not only will a leather puffer jacket bring an extra level of comfort during the frigid season, but it will also add a chic component to your outerwear game. So less of feeling schlumpy and unkempt while braving the cold (something that winter-wear can often do), and more of looking put-together and polished. To help with your search, we rounded up the best leather puffer jackets of the season below. From genuine leather styles to vegan and faux options to cropped and down silhouettes, there's something for every taste at various price points.
A genuine leather puffer jacket that actually won't break the bank. Made of top grain sheep leather and featuring a faux fur-lined hood, this Quince option will keep you warm and toasty and style from now through the end of winter.
One reviewer writes: "I continue to be blown away by the Quince quality. The leather puffer jacket is incredible. The leather is so soft and buttery, it’s almost like silk. The faux fur hood stays firmly on my head, unlike other jackets which have a propensity to kinda slide off if there’s any wind. And, perhaps most importantly, it’s *warm.* During a recent cold snap in central Tennessee, our night temps dipped into the high 20s, and I barely felt a thing. "
Material: 100% top grain sheep leather
Black may go with everything, but have you ever considered colors in the burgundy family? This garnet leather parka from Mackage is not only incredibly versatile and a stunning layer, but it also boasts a windproof, water-repellent, and paneled quilted construction that can withstand temps below 0 degrees.
Apparis's take on the trend features sustainably-made vegan leather that looks the real thing. It also comes in four on-trend colors, like this chocolate shade that'll zhuzh up all your winter 'fits.
One shopper writes: "This jacket is so cute, soft and warm. It fits like a glove. I have never had a vegan jacket and this one feels and looks like leather, only better. The quality is amazing. The color is beautiful. I got the Cocoa color and I love it."
If it's a classic black option you prefer, this faux leather puffer jacket that's neither too overly bulky or clunky ticks all the boxes.
One shopper says: "Relaxed yet sophisticated. Love the gold details. Can way casually with leggings or with a work outfit. So happy I found this puffer and got it instead of any others."
Or consider a classic black puffer with a snuggly faux sherpa-lined trim. This one is down-filled to ensure you feel insulated, while the furry collar will keep your neck protected from the elements.
This vegan leather puffer looks and feels so much like the real thing that one will ever know you snapped it up for $90.
One reviewer writes: "Without having worn it extensively, thus not knowing is durability, I so far love this jacket. I have a shorter torso and it hits just right at my hip bones. The vegan leather had me totally fooled, it is so supple."
Proof that wearing white after Labor Day is not a fashion faux pas. Take the winter white trend for a spin with this cream-hued vegan number that will absolutely freshen and brighten up all your looks.
