The Ultimate Guide to Winter Outerwear

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Albany chapter.

     The winter gets a lot of hate from us. We complain about the icy temperatures, snowstorms, and the short days. Despite all the bad things that come along with winter, there are a lot of great things about it, a few that I actually look forward to. These include the holidays, my birthday, boots and turtlenecks, but most importantly outerwear. Jackets and coats make the winter so much more bearable. With some many different styles and hues, you are bound to find one that you love. Listed below are some trending styles for this year.

                                                                                                             Puffer Jackets

            Growing up my mom used to make wear a puffer jacket as soon as the temperature dipped below 45 degrees. I used to dread winter because she would buy the biggest and brightest puffer she could find in the children’s section. As i got older and was allowed to pick out my coats, I was anti-puffer. I used to only wear pea coats, parkas, and lightly padded jackets. Now I am warming up more to puffer jackets as they are efficient in keeping me warm and the new ones are so much more stylish and chic compared to the ones from my childhood.

This light blue puffer from Urban Outfitters is perfect for everyday wear.
