If you normally associate the start of winter with the death of your personal style, this year's unlikely puffer coat trend might have you changing your tune. Sure, the heavy, padded styles have been around for years — and, ahem, are essential for freezing cold temps — but after seeing them on the runways and our favorite street style stars, we're finally seeing the warm coat as cool. Got a giant jacket in your closet? Mimic its epic proportions with equally oversized pants. Own a cropped metallic version? Pair it with dressy, dangling earrings. Check out our 8 new favorite ways to style your warmest winter gear below. With a little attention, your cozy puffer coat can actually be the center of your outfit, not the thing that's covering it up.
