The best puffer jackets for men to make every day a duvet day

Did you have M&S making one of the best puffer jackets of the season on your 2024 bingo card? If not, this will be a nice surprise for you: the department store’s affordable winter piece uses feather and down to fill out chocolate brown padded panels, finishing it off with a detachable hood, soft feel and stormproof tech.

Feather fillings? Forget them. The ever-innovative and enviro-loving Pangaia is instead insulated with ‘FLWRDWN', a bio-based, animal-free alternative to traditional down that uses wildflowers. Plus, this puffer jacket diverts pre-consumer waste materials from landfills. Simply put, this is a style that looks good, and does good.

Outfitter to the East London masses, Carhartt WIP's utilitarian output simply never gets old. A water-repellent shell filled with feather down, this Carhartt puffer is sharp, cosy, and dripping with streetwear edge. Get on board.

Axel Arigato's chocolate-brown puffer has all the trappings of a grail. Dubbed the ‘Nebraska’, this voluminous choice is made from lightweight recycled polyester that’s filled with re-used down and feathers, sealed by a cinching waist for a customised fit.

If you want a simple, no-nonsense puffer jacket that will get you from point A to point B with no dramas, Uniqlo's seamless pick is one for you. Complete with a water-repellent coating, this longline puffer lends itself to a sporty style, thanks to its matte fabric and streamlined feel.

Designed for both metropolitan and mountainous lifestyles, Moncler's pieces transcend seasons with its modern styles. Keeping you warm in style, this ‘Wollaston’ down jacket maintains a light weight despite its major insulation, whilst its shiny finish adds a lick of panache.

It’s the little things that separate a lacklustre puffer from the cream of the puffed-up crop. Cos excels at those little things: evenly distributed down for a perfectly pillowy shape, curving collars for chin-hugging style and warmth, and just the right crop for a physique-flattering finish. Just as excellent in off-white or black, but our favourite colourway is the airy light grey for its modish Yeezy-esque vibe.

Looking to stand out amid a sea of navy and noir-clad commuters? Look no further. In a dual-panelled design, Arc'Teryx's answer to the puffer is here to ensure your partner never loses sight of you, whether you're scaling a foggy mountain, or just braving the crowds at Oxford Street.

Perhaps better known for its output of celeb-adored knitwear (Jamie Dornan and Chris Evans are fans, FYI), Percival also offers a pretty major line of outerwear. Ideal for days when leaving your duvet behind is particularly difficult, this fluffy puffer from Percival is trimmed with some subtle logo tape, adding dimension to its voluminous design.

This boxy beauty from Gucci forms part of the label’s Aria collection, from a runway dedicated to the glamour of Hollywood with all the usual tinges of Italian heritage and equestrian iconography, all wrapped up in a dynamic 1970s-style flair. This puffer is among the warmest offerings of the collection, filled with down and secured with a press-stud front fastening, and is finished with the label’s signature Web stripe and logo patch detail.

A rich latte cream hue and a little added length in this coat make it something we can imagine on the back of Roger Moore’s James Bond. Opting to put its pockets on the outside rather than the customary quilted jacket style, this is another Reiss triumph that’s a shoo-in for anyone who’ll be in the vicinity of the slopes this winter.

Those of you who have ever looked at a four year-old girl’s wardrobe and felt envy…this acid trip of a pink floral puffer goes out to you. Brainchild of L.A. brand ERL, this twill outer, down inner special is inspired by the 1970s and intended for the very bravest — and coolest — among you.

New York-based brand Schott may be known for its leather jackets, but did you know that they serve an excellent selection of puffer styles too? A fine case in point is this new Blackburn design: crafted from a down-packed cotton-blend shell and nodding to the brand’s most famed texture through supple leather shoulder panels. A hardy outerwear staple in all manners, we suggest pairing it with your best black essentials to channel the muted codes of the brand.

If a bright and billowing puffer jacket is a bit much for you, good news: Moorer provides a simpler solution. Reflecting the Italian brand’s flair for exquisitely elegant pieces, this puffer jacket takes a more sartorial stance through its tailored silhouette – framed with notch lapels, tortoiseshell buttons and flap pockets. Thanks to the high-fill down of its fabric, rest assured that it will also help you weather the storm.

The Marmite of fashion prints, Burberry’s ‘Vintage Check’ gets a darker update on this collectable choice, which makes up for its price with the promise of years of wear. And, if you're wondering, yes: Burberry check does count as a neutral.
