Parkas and Puffer Coats: The Rundown

Not the most fashion forward pieces of clothing, parkas and down coats have, until now, usually been reserved for frigid temps and outdoor activities. But this season, designers are making much more stylish alternatives for cold weather comfort. So save that North Face for a snowball fight and try one of these fashionable alternatives for casual day wear.

I love the huge shawl collar on this Add Down Puffer Wrap Jacket. And the super-cinched waist keeps the volume in check, making it more flattering than your average parka.











Cute and sporty, this hooded Juicy Couture Bomber Jacket is sure to keep you warm on your way to class. But for a more luxe look, try their Quilted Puffer Coat with faux fur trim.










Take a style tip or two from the lovely Stella McCartney and throw on a slouchy parka instead of a pufffer coat. This LaROK 'Sheen' Parka has a cozy detachable liner for when things get really chilly.
