介绍： What Does My Puffer Jacket Say About Me?
Once upon a time a puffer was a functional garment for very cold weather activities, the grown-up equivalent of a toddler's snowsuit, made mostly for enduring winter and its related sports. 
By contrast, the classic tailored overcoat or Crombie coat — wool, tweed or cashmere, single-breasted, usually reaching to the knee or mid-thigh — was one of those garments that, like a sensible leather shoe, signaled adulthood and one's ascent into the workforce.
When office dress codes relaxed and comfort clothing took over the world, the overcoat increasingly seemed like an anachronism. 
By then, the puffer, like so many other once banal garments, had been appropriated by the hip-hop world, making it a feature of the urban landscape rather than the outdoor rec world. Puffer specialists like Moncler and Canada Goose, sensing opportunity, began framing themselves and their down coats less as sporty outerwear and more as fashion statements. 
All of which means that at this point the question is not where can you wear a puffer — you can wear it anywhere, including any kind of office — but rather what kind of puffer should you wear? Because not all puffers are created equal. 
The first thing to consider is whether you go with a puffer or a parka. A puffer is generally a more quilted, bulky coat. A parka is longer, sleeker and a little tougher. 
Then you need to think about color. Increasingly, the sports world has embraced ever brighter shades. Typically conservative colors like black, dark gray or even olive keep the mind in overcoat territory. 
Whatever you choose, remember, one of the most adult decisions you can make is to "dress appropriately for the cold."
