With so many stunning designs available, now’s the perfect time to grab one before the best styles are gone."

We've gathered together the top picks when it comes to puffer coats, from the most stylish quilted maxi puffer you could ever wish for to short-but-chic numbers.

How we chose the best puffer jackets for women

I’ve scoured the high street for the best puffer jackets for women that are in stock. Here’s how I chose them:

  • Price: There’s a puffer jacket to suit every budget - whether you want a designer puffer jacket that will last you years, or a bargain piece that still does the job without breaking the bank. We selected puffer jackets at both ends of the scale, so there’s something for everyone. 
  • Style: We looked for the most stylish puffer jackets for women that we could find. Just because the weather is cold doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on style!
  • Length: We recognise that some shoppers want a long puffer, others want something shorter. We catered for both.
  • Colour: From bright shades to muted tones, and classic black, cream and navy blue - we wanted puffers of all shades to feature in this roundup.
  • Reviews and trusted brands: We included raincoats from our list of trusted brands with solid reputations - Marks & Spencer, The North Face, Amazon and more. Where it wasn’t possible to test the coats ourselves we only selected waterproof coats that had a large volume of positive reviews from trusted shoppers.
