Blackwatch Plaid Turtleneck Dress (Sizes 12-16 tend to fit adult sizes between XS-L. I’m wearing a size 14 here, which probably fits like an adult medium.) / Leather Riding Boots (TTS. These are fantastic as well.) / Quilted Cocoon Coat (Size down one to two sizes! Runs very big. Here’s the wool version. I size down one size in that.) / Mark & Graham Suede Crossbody / Sunglasses (More affordable here and here.)
Aaaaand we’re finally here with a J.Crew Quilted Cocoon Puffer Coat review!
Here’s what you should know:
- It’s modeled after the wool Cocoon Coat. The Cocoon silhouette has been around since 2011, and for good reason. It’s wonderfully warm and oversized yet somehow flattering. It’s iconic, really! LOVE that J.Crew turned the classic wardrobe staple into a puffer coat. It’s truly perfect for this ultra casual year we’re having!
- It runs larger than the wool Cocoon Coat. I normally go one size down in the wool Cocoon Coat, but I needed to go two sizes down in the quilted one. It’s oversized to begin with, so don’t order your normal size!
- It’s filled with Primaloft, which provides a great deal of warmth. That said, it’s not a true winter coat. I would say that once temps drop into the 20s, I’ll be in a true puffer coat. (This is my favorite. Runs huge. Size down.)
- The collar is higher than the wool version. This is awesome for keeping the wind out.
- It has deep pockets. Really great when you want to be hands- or bag-free when running out. They fit my wallet, keys, phone, mask, sunglasses—all the essentials.
- It has a zipper. Again, nice for keeping the wind out.
- It’s machine-washable. HUGE. Just throw it in there. If you’re going to dry it a little—which you probably should—be sure to put a tennis ball into the dryer with it to maintain fluffiness.
- It comes in five colors and they’re all great. I love the hot pink, but the olive and navy are fantastic as well. And the yellow, while perhaps not as versatile as the others, just makes me happy. ;)
A+ from me!

I was so excited that J Crew came out with all the puffers this year because I can’t wear any of the gorgeous wool coats! But the quilted puffer is SO cute! You can never have too many winter coats for the midwest winter, am I right, ahah! Also, this plaid dress is everything :)
