I was recently at my parents' house, trying to decide whether it was time to bring my puffer jacket back to my apartment for everyday wear. (If you don't already use your childhood closet as extra storage space, get on that.) I found myself thinking, "What would Billie do?" Billie as in Billie Eilish, of course. Let me tell you, she would absolutely bring back her rainbow's worth of puffers and get to styling.
Some of the 17-year-old singer's coolest fashion moments have revolved around a puffer, albeit accessorized with Louis Vuitton and Gucci logos galore. I'm personally all about owning a look with casual edge when it gets cold, but I must say I'm sick of just throwing on a bomber with workout leggings and high-tops. Billie has given us so many ways to breathe new life into our outerwear, and it'd be a shame to let her brilliant ideas live alone on her Instagram feed, without taking a tip from the mastermind.
Billie tends to dress in a monochrome palette from head to toe, so a lot of her Fall-friendly outfits may seem like layers and layers of color. If that's not for you, take note of the specific pieces Billie pairs up and make your puffer your new best friend. Oh, and if you still need to purchase one, we've got you covered too, right after the jump.
Wear yours over a logo sweater and accent the look with a lime bucket hat and sneakers.
Capitalize on the mustard and brown color palette and add a neutral striped shirt or flash of Louis Vuitton.
Go for monochrome and layer on neon sweats and socks with your chunky sneakers and retro shades.
Ever tried a puffer jacket worn off the shoulders with a puffer vest? That's the miracle Billie combination we all know and love.
Wear it over a neutral utility jumpsuit or co-ords with white sneakers.
Go for mask sunglasses and nylon track pants — essentially like you're about to hop on the ski lift — then add street style edge with a gold chain, hoops, and cropped sweater.
Work it with a baseball cap, cozy long-sleeved tee, and chunky necklaces.
Go for a very 2000s look that Britney Spears would be proud of and invest in that rhinestone denim baseball cap.
Mix sloppy prints, or wear the same busy pattern from head to toe, and cap it off with dark sunglasses.
Show just a sliver of skin with long leisure shorts, high socks, and high-top sneakers.
We may not all have the Chanel bling to go with it, but try investing in a cropped puffer coat and styling it with trendy, contrast-stitch cargos and sneakers.
Rock a slouchy yellow jumper with simple white sneakers and a white turtleneck underneath.
Play up the opposite side of your puffer with matching sneakers and a headband that highlights the interior.
Coordinate with mesh pants, chainlink jewelry, and work boots.
Revamp the signature Billie "puffer-on-puffer" and style it with checked shorts and chunky combat boots.
