It's officially puffer jacket season, and we're feeling mixed emotions. On one hand, the instant warmth and comfort this sweatshirt provides makes it perfect, but on the other hand, it's always hard to figure out how to pair it without leggings and sneakers.

Thankfully, Olivia Munn is providing style inspiration, showing that a puffer jacket can look refined and sophisticated when paired with jeans and boots.

Munn was recently spotted in a chic winter ensemble that included a cropped gray puffer jacket, wide-leg jeans, and black pointed-toe boots. It may look simple, but what made it stand out were a few details: the color of the jacket, which felt fresh and different from the norm; the close-fitting design, very 2025; the wide-leg jeans as a more sophisticated alternative to stretch; and the pointed-toe leather boots that create an all-around elegant and refined look.

Puffer jackets are no longer just sporty and “ordinary,” and that’s why they’re making a name for themselves. Designers are upgrading them with stylish details like a narrow neckline, an integrated scarf, shiny accessories, and quality materials that make them more stylish.

With these improvements, it is expected that those who previously wouldn't wear the puffer jacket outside the gym will now fully embrace it for more elegant occasions and combine it with wide-leg jeans and boots, like Olivia Munn.
