Other people relied on it too. So much that when I came across a white puffy with a faux fur hood on clearance at Macys for $11, I picked that one up too.
Then on a trip to Jersey when I showed up somehow thinking the weather would be just like Cali, I purchased my final puffy in desperation - at full price.
But the insulation is totally worth it. Like the other night, I stayed all toasty in the gray puffy while Helen snuggled in the red one.
Above are some of my fine friends sporting their fave puffies on my deck. So, I ask you, what's your puffy style? And why? Is it white fluffy faux fur? Steady red? Or steely gray? You can vote on the left, leave a comment or do both.

As the person who selected your steely gray puffy (or was it selected for me?), I have to say I was proud to wear the selection and was kept well insulated from the post-sunset chill of the desert city. By the way, is that a picture of Crosby Stills and Nash?
ReplyDeleteI like puffies but don't really indulge personally. When I saw that the question involved style I laughed to myself. I barely remember what that word means. I only have one warm coat that rarely sees the light of day. If I didn't go to Boston every winter I'd completely forget about it. It's a dark green Eddie Bauer coat. It's marginally puffy and all about function.
ReplyDeleteI like the white puffy one. just a bit more outrageous and definitely warmer than the others. I have a dark blue puffy one for when it gets really cold. plus, I look like a rapper when I wear it.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... this question reminded me that I too have a white puffy coat - no fur but sweater sleeves. I got it in the fashion district of downtown LA for $20 a few weeks before Christmas about 3 years ago. I believe my last roommate borrowed it sometime last Fall. In fact, I'm sure she's sporting it somewhere in RI these days. I miss that coat.
ReplyDeletedefinitley the white!!! and that makes me realize that I need to purchase a new puffy coat. I currently only own puffy vests, hmm, I'd better get to the stores!!
ReplyDeleteI've lived in California too long to own a lot of puffies. I mean, here it is November and it's still in the 80s!
ReplyDeleteThe only puffy I own is actually fuschia, turquoise and black and I love it. It's fitted at the waist so it always makes me look slim :) Of course, I only pull it out to go skiing, so I've worn it ONCE in the last 10 years! I actually wore it more when we lived in Arizona (skiing in Flagstaff was a day trip from Scottsdale).
I need to move to a place where it gets cold enough for me to wear puffies more often :)
I am digging all of the gorgeous models of the puffies but I'm leaning toward Big B in the red. He sorta has a Hugh Hefner thing going on, no?
ReplyDeleteAs for me, there will not be any puffy coats in the near future. Pregnant lady in a puffy? It's not pretty.
I'm a dark gal myself and lean more towards the grey and black section of the color spectrum. But I'd much rather wear thinsulate than a puffy anyway. Much thinner. Or maybe I could blame my width on the puffy. Something to consider.
ReplyDeletePuffy white so I can blend in with the snow! By the way in VT this AM it was 13 degrees.
ReplyDeleteWant puffy coat weather? Come on over : ).
I voted for the white puffy, but I gotta say, the picture of all three's awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ara. It is a great pic of the puffies, isn't it? The models aren't bad either! ; )
