I Love This Short Wrap Puffer Coat That's on Sale at Amazon

Outerwear trends have come and gone, but there's one classic, cozy silhouette that'll never go out of style: the puffer jacket. With a lofty, marshmallow-like fill, the sporty winter staple is supremely warm, and unlike your wool peacoat, its outer moisture-wicking material stands sturdy against rain and snow. But as much as puffer jackets reign supreme in cold weather, they tend to be bulky and boxy. Most lack a flattering fit, making them the coat of choice for extra-chilly days and casual wear.

If you're looking for a happy marriage between the two, turn to the Lark & Ro Short Wrap Puffer Coat that's currently up to 72 percent off on Amazon, with prices starting at just $23. Shoppers call it a "fashionable take on the puffer coat" and say it's "very stylish and warm." After trying it myself, I happen to agree.

Featuring an exaggerated wing collar and chic wrap enclosure, this puffer certainly doesn't lack style. An attached tie at the waist adds definition where you want it most, instantly giving your body an hourglass shape, while a short, asymmetrical hemline makes your legs look like they go on for literal days. Also cropped, bracelet-style sleeves are wide enough to balance out your itty-bitty waistline, and pockets on both sides come in handy for stashing essentials.

But regardless of its sleek, party-ready style, the jacket still offers all of the same features you'd expect from a standard puffer. Upon first feel, you'll notice how lightweight it is — a major plus for free movement, but don't let that fool you; reviewers say its plush poly-microfiber fill is cozy enough to keep "warm in 30-degree weather." And while this jacket doesn't come with a hood, Lark & Ro's proprietary water-resistant finish will protect you against inevitable precipitation.

Available in two colors, this puffer saves the day when it's so freezing, I'm tempted to forgo fashion in lieu of a coat that makes me look seven times my size. I love that I never have to choose between style and comfort, because it truly has both, and I find myself reaching for it constantly. From weekend errand runs to more formal date-night dinners, it's a versatile go-to that reaps heaps of compliments practically every direction I turn. I'd suggest sizing down, but otherwise, it's not only the most flattering puffer I own, but also the most flattering coat I own.

The Lark & Ro Short Wrap Puffer Coat is an elevated outerwear piece I can't recommend enough. Shop it for as little as $23 while it's still on sale.
