Why The Streetstyle Pack Love A North Face Puffer Jacket

From Chanel, Stella McCartney and Phillip Lim to Rick Owens and Coach, puffer jackets were seen all over the autumn winter 2017 runways. Naturally, this meant, come September of this year, at the shows for spring summer 2018, these duvet-esque jackets were being nonchalantly shrugged on by the street style set. However, it quickly became clear, there was one brand in particular that was the fash pack's go-to and the good news is, is that it comes with a way more affordable price tag than the high-end designer versions.

Yep, we're talking about The North Face puffer.

Forgot the old connotations, this humble puffer used to conjure up of BBC presenters reporting from outside whilst battling the elements or sensible dads on the school run, thanks to a string of clever collaborations, think Sacai, Supreme and Junya Watanabe, not to mention being papped on Kendall Jenner, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Aniston and Rihanna, a North Face puffer has become a winter style staple.

Fueling our obsession further, is the digital influencer Chiara Capitani who was spotted wearing a re-released version of The North Face's original Nupste jacket from 1992 during Milan men's fashion week.

The Nuptse which was named after its design team who spent over 50 days at the Nuptse basecamp, in the Nepalese Himalayas was created to merge function with style and the re-released version come in a myriad of the original colourways including red (Kendall's go-to), a mustard print and a cobalt blue. It also comes in a gilet form too, which is ideal for layering.
