In case you missed the memo, it’s fah-reezing out there right now, friends. I kid, I kid – approximately no-one has missed that the wintery weather has turned up to full blast recently. But despite the wind and rain and general misery, there are a few things I love about winter, and one of them is the fashion. The scarves, the gloves, the beanies – and, of course, a great jacket or coat to bundle up in.
From chic twists on a classic trench, to puffers for every occasion, here are the top trending coats for winter 2025.
The best puffer jackets to shop in Australia
01
H&M Oversized Puffer jacket
$89.99 from H&M
This shade of baby blue is my current obsession. I love the drawstring on this jacket to cinch in the waist. Balance out the bulk up top by pairing puffers with slim silhouettes on the bottom – think leggings, fitted knits, or miniskirts and tights.
02
&me Quilted Padded Puffer Jacket
$45 from Big W
A cropped cream puffer is a classic for a reason, and at 45 bucks? This will have you sorted all season. Keep it sporty with sneakers, or dress it up with sleek hair, boots and a luxe crossbody bag.
03
&me Women’s Quilted Puffer Jacket
$45 from Big W
I bought a long black puffer during a particularly ~spicy~ winter in Melbourne several years ago, and I wear it with anything and everything in winter. You cannot go wrong with this style (and you’ll be toasty warm, too!).
