There’s no denying it anymore: Winter is here. As the temperatures continue to drop, finding a cute, comfortable, and cozy cropped puffer jacket can at times seem like a daunting task. Why cropped? While we love having different types of outerwear like other cute puffers and ski-ready styles to choose from during the colder months, having a shorter, quilted option in your wardrobe adds a versatile choice to wear with any outfit. Coming in a plethora of different styles (ranging from athletic to more traditional), you won’t have a problem choosing one that suits your personal style or your needs.
To prove my point, I’ve rounded up 15 undeniably chic cropped puffer jackets that won’t make you sacrifice style for comfort and warmth. Shop them all below.
