Oodie’s Classic Puffer Jacket is reduced from £95 to £66.50 for a limited time(Image: Oodie)
As the autumn chill begins to bite, our denim jackets and shackets are being packed away in favour of something altogether warmer. When it comes to winter outerwear, a puffer jacket is hard to beat.
What’s more, a well-chosen puffer needn’t compromise your style, particularly when it boasts some eye-catching design elements. One brand delivering on both fronts is Oodie, which has unveiled a striking new leopard-print-black design alongside six further colourways, including classic black, pink and teal.
The Oodie Black/Leopard Classic Puffer Jacket combines everyday wearability with a subtle burst of pattern, making it a sophisticated step up from your standard plain black coat. The animal print lends just enough character to turn heads, while remaining impressively versatile.
Better still, Oodie has just launched a sale offering up to 30% off, bringing this premium puffer jacket down from £95 to £66.50.
Naturally, the hallmark of any decent puffer lies in its capacity to keep you warm, with fill, length, fit, lining and weather resistance all playing a crucial role. This jacket has been specifically engineered for cold conditions, featuring a ToastyTekTM inner lining and 200 gsm fill to provide dependable, cosy warmth during outdoor activities, as reported by Express.
Classic Puffer Jacket
The puffer jacket comes in a range of colours and designs
Its thoughtful design details further enhance its performance, incorporating a high neck, ribbed thumbhole cuffs – perfect for those prone to cold hands – and an adjustable drawstring hem for a snug, tailored fit. Our writer Eve can personally vouch for this, having purchased this very puffer jacket in the leopard-print design – you can read Eve’s complete review here.
It pairs beautifully with jeans, trainers, boots, skirts and much more, and Eve says it is quite possibly the snuggest jacket ever owned. The ToastyTekTM interior lining feels wonderfully soft and plush, genuinely giving the sensation of being wrapped in a cloud-like blanket, while the elasticated cuffs and adjustable drawstring hem effectively keep out draughts.
‘It’s warm….buttery soft and it looks great’
The high collar is also excellent for combating the cold, meaning wearers don’t need to bother with a scarf. It’s waterproof too, with rain simply running off its water-resistant outer surface, making it brilliant when unexpectedly caught in showers.
Created with a relaxed unisex silhouette, the jacket finishes right at the hip and isn’t overly bulky (unlike most puffers). It comes in sizes from XXS/XS through to 2XL/3XL, though the S/M Eve purchased is slightly looser than she anticipated for a ‘relaxed fit’ size 10, which was a minor disappointment.
However, on the positive side, it’s roomy enough to accommodate a jumper and several layers beneath, which is perfect for winter.
For those drawn to a striking pattern like this leopard-print detail but wanting something slightly different, the Pearl Hooded Puffer from Damson Madder (£145) provides a delightful option. Complete with a button fastening and cosy hood, this eye-catching piece is available in both a timeless navy-and-green check and a rich toffee-brown check.
For those seeking a classic black puffer jacket with an enduring style, the Bershka Oversized hooded puffer jacket in black is a fantastic choice at £55.99. One notable advantage of this jacket is its detachable hood, a feature that the Oodie puffer jacket doesn’t provide.
‘Looks amazing with shorts and even leggings’
However, Eve was far from alone in being won over by the quality of the Oodie jacket, as one glowing review on the Oodie website stated: “This is my first Oodie item purchase. I am obsessed with this! It looks so cute yet feels so warm, like being hugged/snuggled in a warm blanket.. I ordered the smallest (xxs/xs )size. I thought the fit would be a tad bit smaller (I am 5’1 and 45 kg), but they are designed with an oversized fit in mind. I love some roomy space! It cinches in on the bottom and also around the face if you want no air coming through. It gets very warm! Looks amazing with shorts and even leggings! 10/10 would recommend.”
A further reviewer noted: “It’s warm….buttery soft and it looks great! Because of my line of work….I wore it in the freezer while putting stock away/ rearranging, and honestly, it kept me so warm. Easy to move in. So worth its price….I love it! P.s. I never review anything unless it’s actually worth it.”
While a third customer added: “I’ve always said fur-lined coats should have the arms lined too and this one does! So warm on freezing dog walks.”
The iconic puffer jacket isn’t the sole item discounted on the Oodie website during its sale, with customers able to snap up the brand’s OodieTM Original blanket hoodie for £45.50, reduced from £65. It features the same ToastyTekTM construction and includes a sherpa fleece lining for extra cosiness.
The brand’s weighted blankets have also been marked down from £109 to £76.30 and are designed to promote better sleep, aid relaxation and offer a soft feel – perfect for the chillier months.
