Vests were huge for Spring and Summer, so maybe it’s not surprising that we’re seeing a lot of puffer jackets in various Fall collections.
Our first encounter with The Puffer came at boarding school, when North Face ruled, and the infamous jacket-with-no-sleeves was everywhere.
But the new Puffers are slimmer, with a longer cut and more detailed quilting to streamline its shape.
The Puffer has also gone from girly to unisex, as several men’s collections have introduced them in place of a blazer.
Our favorite so far comes from Club Monaco, where they’ve cleverly styled it with pinstripe pants and a tie.
Logo babes can also take comfort - See by Chloe has a few cute ones for winter, which seem ideal for those who want to pick up a snowboarder.

Ok, really, who is on the "menswear" fashion beat for this blog? Puffers? For Fall? I feel like Meryl Streep in "The Devill Wears Prada" in the scene where the accessories editor suggests "florals for Spring". If you're going to cover menswear, you should cover it from a male perspective, not a straight woman's "this is what I want my boyfriend to wear in a lame attempt to craft a knock-off version of your gay best friend". Thoughts?
