Heading into December means that the temperatures will continue to drop. If you live in a cold climate, especially one that is windy, you are battling the consistent cold weather. Going to college during these winter months and walking to class in the cold weather means that you will need a warm winter coat. Although wool and trench coats are gaining popularity, puffer coats are a more casual option for those looking for one. Here are five puffer coats that will help you stay warm while battling these dropping temperatures.

1. Frank and Oak’s Hygge PUffer

An expensive option for a coat, if you are looking to invest in one, is Frank and Oak’s Hygge Puffer.
