I Love The Puffer Coat

 
About The Coat
Back in the day what we used to call the bubble coat, for those who didn't know a bubble coat according to the urban dictionary are those big air filled coats popular with inner city folks that easily make someone appear twice as fat as they are and make it virtually impossible for them to take up only one seat on public transportation. That sounds accurate! Well those coats have evolved and FYI the not so hood or "correct" term is "puffer coat" 

This coat used to be one of my warmest coat but I stopped rocking it for the very reason, like urban dictionary mentioned, it is was big and at the time they were very limited on styles and colors, well thats if you were on a smaller budget like me you got the same North Face everyone else had.  I always wanted the Tommy Hilfiger bubble coat. The ones from the 90s have made a comeback.

The bubble coat aka puffer coat has been around since the 1930's and it seems that this epidemic is here to stay. Puffer coats come in many different shapes and are available in a number of styles and colors. Some are long coats. Some are puffer vest with hoods trimmed in faux fur. Others may be short jackets with extra puffy quilting. There is a coat for your mom, your grandmother, your brother. This is a puffer for everyone. 

When I got my first bubble coat they had just created these styles for the women, funny because even then I preferred the guy version, the shape and style was just more swagger than the girls'. But we are in the era where chicks like me who prefer kicks or "The Stylish Tomboys" are in. Today I am seeing less of that ugly girl version of the bubble. Since the 90s I haven't purchased another bubble coat for a 
while till one day my brother came home with samples from Rocawear. I had my eye on that brown and red puffer coat and the moment I got the opportunity I took and it has been mine since. Also below that picture is my most recent purchase from the ASOS online store where they resell and carry many other brands. This fun bright colored coat was on sale it's from a brand called PUFFA. I haven't heard much about them previously but I love the fun bubbly logo that they place on most of their coats so very bold and cute.
