Here’s a fashion for thought: ski jackets in the summer. What exactly is this trend, if it even is one? I’ve been scrolling through my Instagram in the recent months and can’t help but notice one trend that I simply cannot shake, and that is celebrities wearing puffer (or winter) jackets in 60-70 degree weather. I have one simple question, why?
I grew up in a state that got pretty cold during the winter months and while it was fun to get bundled up in fun winter jackets I definitely could not wait to take them off once the weather warmed up. So Im shell-shocked to see people such as Kim Kardashian taking on taking on the town in a winter puffer coat with spandex shorts. It is obvious it is not actually cold based on the rest of Kim’s outfit, so why is she wearing a coat suited for skiing?
Believe me, I am all for setting trends and pushing the boundaries but this one seems a little too “out there” for even me. First, I really am interested to know if this look is even comfortable, giving the fact that it is not snowing nor even that cold, so I can only imagine she must be a little hot under there. Secondly, and maybe I am the only one who thinks this but a heavy puffy coat and spandex shorts just don’t seem to go together for me?
I did a little more digging to see if I could find any other celebrities trying out this trend, and while I didn’t find any offenders quite as bad as Kim, I find a few others that could be contenders. In particular, the photo on the left where Rihanna is wearing an extremely oversized puffer coat and almost nothing else under.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the puffer jacket just as much as the next person, but there is time and place for these coats, and summer in California is simply not the right time.
