When it comes to men’s puffers, here are some of the commonly asked questions that people often have. 1. What is a puffer vest?

Puffer vests are a staple of Gorpcore and a big reason why the aesthetic is ever-trending now. While I’m not styling puffer vests in any of the outfits featured in this editorial, I wanted to mention its prevalence today, especially among the younger, more fashion forward crowd. (Actually, here is one puffer fit styled by me). This monochrome look works because it’s smart casual to the core, leaning a bit more on the casual end.

Puffer vests can be filled with either down insulation (natural and highly efficient) or synthetic insulation (more water-resistant and hypoallergenic). Both have their advantages, with down being warmer and more compressible and synthetic being better in wet conditions. 7. Can I layer a puffer vest over other clothing? As I already mentioned, brown and blue make for a harmonious two. Layering is key here as with all of the other looks. These are light layers and so it’s ideal for a cool fall day, around 50-60 degrees F. It’s a casually refined look that makes great use of the down vest as a top layer. How to wear a puffer vest depends on which of those groups your own style hews closest to. They’re most commonly casual items, built for the outdoors. These days that could just as easily mean a chilly taproom in a former industrial estate as it does a wind-beaten mountainside. But they could also work as an office layer or something snug for a fall date night. One of my favorite color pairings is brown and blue. And so this entire look revolves around those wonderful earth tones which are the fall season’s perfect accompaniment.Puffer vests are best worn in the transitional seasons of fall and spring when the weather is chilly but not extremely cold. They are also suitable for layering in winter or as an outer layer on crisp autumn days. 5. How do I choose the right size? I love the wingtip dress boots and minimalist dial dress watch with silver mesh strap for this getup. They’re all complimentary pieces in my opinion. Finally, the fifth and final look features the outdoor vest, it’s more functional if anything. These are fall basics that I’d wear to go on a brisk hike up to the Poconos in the fall season. The first look featuring the puffer vest is this quilted navy light padded Walker vest, dark indigo wash jeans, grey sweatshirt and lightweight brown moc-toe boots combination.
