I just clicked over to QVC for ten seconds and saw a model standing there in a BELTED red down jacket or puffer jacket of some sort. Puffer coats are bad enough, but a shorter belted one? Why diet down to a small size and then wear something that adds many pounds to your look? What are the designers thinking? Looking like the ”Michelin man" isn't exactly what I'm going for.

When we last lived in the North East, I  thought they felt pretty darn good and when it was freezing out I didn't care a nit that it added a few pounds. Felt really good.  Now in S. E. Louisiana, I haven't worn any kind of coat in two years.  But I still hang on to my puffer coat just in case.

Do you live in freezing weather?  You would enjoy a puffer coat.  Just saying

The point wasn't that the coat wasn't warm in cold weather, I'm sure it is.... the point was that DB's puffer coat was fashionable and didn't add the look of extra weight.... they were serious!

I had to go look, it's horrible!

So glad I don't live in a cold climate.   I prefer to layer when it does get cold here.    I don't even own a winter coat.

If it's cold out, I don't care if I do look like "The Michelin Man", all that is important is that I am warm!

[Goldengate8361]

I totally agree! I thought the same thing. Very sad look.

[QVCkitty1]

I think that there are flattering coats, that also keep you warm.

Neither do I.  When I was commuting in snow or sleet storms, it was a puffer coat, scarf, hat, gloves, boots and anything else I could get on.  Only my eyes were showing and even then I wore sun glasses.  At least if I fell over, I wouldn't get hurt.
