The question isn’t “What can you wear a puffer vest with?” the questions is “What can’t you wear a puffer vest with?” Street wear, active wear, jeans, wide leg pants.. the list is endless. Keep your top underneath long sleeve and slim fitting and keep the vest length to the waist and you will be on trend for 2022.
