However, we wrote about the puffer jacket trend last winter, and by the looks of some of the offerings for this fall it's back (including some ridiculously high end versions like this Vince Zip Off Hooded Puffer Jacket, $495 at Saks Fifth Avenue) Sure it's warm, and being the practical sorts we give it definite points for functionality. However, can you pull it off? Can any …

What: Layer on a quilted vest sans the puff. What we say: The perfect fall day with your favorite sweater is sometimes just not enough. For an extra layer, the quilted vest is an alternative to a light jacket. We like how they’re not bulky, so you can keep them past the fall and wear them under a winter coat.
