Hold the Leggings and Sneakers—This Is the It-Girl Way to Wear a Puffer for Winter 2025

Happy almost puffer season to all who celebrate. Winter is on the horizon, and nothing will keep you warmer than a puffer jacket. But we all know both of these things, so let’s talk about what some may not know: how to style a puffer for winter 2025. Well, Elsa Hosk just showed us, and it doesn’t involve leggings or sneakers (the typical puffer-outfit elements).

Elsa Hosk’s Instagram account is an endless source of outfit inspiration, and she’s already posting chic winter looks. One that recently caught my eye included an olive-green Polo Ralph Lauren puffer jacket (which I now want). And instead of styling it in an ultra-casual way, she opted for more of an elevated look, which is perfectly on-trend for winter 2025. The key items were a plaid scarf and chocolate-brown corduroy pants. She looks like she could be on holiday in the English countryside but would look just as appropriate for a walk down the sidewalks of the West Village on a chilly day.
