Staying warm in frigid temperatures can be tough, especially if you’re trying to nail cold-weather style . Puffy coats may keep you toasty, but they make the people wearing them look like Missy Elliot in “The Rain” music video. No matter what you think, puffy coats end up making you look like you’re wearing a stylized garbage bag.
There’s just so much that outwear can do to elevate your overall look.

What about you? Do you prefer a sleeker winter coat or are you about the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man life?
