Jennifer Lawrence Just Gave Winter’s Frumpiest Staple a Chic Upgrade.

Posted March 1, 2024 by H0205

Now I’m convinced I need an elevated puffer jacket, too.

It’s kind of amazing that, without fail, winter fashion repeats itself. My wallet is obviously thankful that the cold-weather wardrobe I put together years ago still works in 2023, save a few small tweaks here and there. The downside is that getting dressed can quickly become uninspiring when we’re always relying on the same outfit formula; especially when it ends with a frumpy parka. I have one, you have one, we all have one — stepping out the door to find everyone looking like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is a long-held winter tradition. But this year, Jennifer Lawrence inspired me to rethink winter’s most quintessential layering piece.

While out in New York City earlier this week, the actress made me realize puffer jackets can actually be quite chic with her knee-length, quilted topper that featured details you’d typically find on a more dressed-up coat. Rather than zipping up the front, Lawrence’s style featured a double-breasted button-up front; the piece’s notched lapel further elevated it.
