Evidently, good things come in three and the vest trend is no exception. First, we saw waistcoats galore on the autumn/winter 2021 runways. Then, turning our heads towards social media we spotted the local style set in sweater vests, and now, finally, as the temperature drops we're yearning for puffer vest layers.
Japanese brand Uniqlo and Swedish label Fjällräven kickstarted the trend, demonstrating decades ago that a down vest is a sure-fire layer to invest in. The versatile nature is what we adore, the garment thin enough to fit underneath any blazer or autumn coat, yet warm enough to supplement any puffer jacket. Since then, designers across the world have advanced and made the puffer vest a statement staple in our seasonal wardrobe rotation.
Here we have gather our 10 favourites, that are simply too good to be hidden under outerwear.
