As the temperatures start to shift, even people in typically warm climates like to add some layers. Enter: the versatile vest. If you’ve watched a #GRWM (Get Ready With Me) video on your TikTok FYP recently, you’ve likely seen this viral puffer vest more than once.
The puffer vest is a wardrobe staple that adds texture to a look. Not only are vests meant to provide some extra warmth, but they also can add some color to your wardrobe or give a solid long-sleeve shirt a whole new look.
The cropped puffer is the latest trend in vests, featuring the same fluffed-up volume and large collar you’ll find on a regular puffer, but with a shorter length so you can wear it with crop tops or low-rise pants. This popular vest has a zipper front and a high-standing collar and is a hit because it comes in such a variety of colors (one TikTok video even features an influencer with the entire rainbow of them). Best of all, it comes in at a low price point.
