As much as wool topcoats is a cold-weather staple, there are moments when function must take the lead—and in the depths of winter, few silhouettes perform better than a well-designed puffer. Even better when it arrives in a bold colorway that cuts through the monotony of a gray season.
Enter CON.STRUCT’s Orange Puffer. Anchored by a contrasting brown corduroy yoke, the jacket nods to retro outerwear while feeling decidedly modern in execution. The saturated hue delivers visual warmth, while the textural contrast adds depth and character—elements often missing from purely utilitarian cold-weather gear.
The result is a jacket that balances style and substance with ease: insulated enough to handle winter’s worst, yet sharp enough to elevate an everyday look. For this feature, we took CON.STRUCT’s standout puffer and styled it two distinct ways—each highlighting its versatility and nostalgic edge.
Après-ski

Many of us may never hit the slopes, but après-ski style isn’t reserved solely for alpine destinations. Its practicality and relaxed sensibility translate effortlessly to winter city life.
When navigating cold streets, a foundation of rugged hiking boots, wool marled socks, and fleece joggers delivers both comfort and function. A cable-knit turtleneck sweater adds texture and warmth, while anchoring the look in classic cold-weather style. Finished with CON.STRUCT’s Orange Puffer, the result is an outfit that feels intentional, insulated, and undeniably stylish—proof that après-ski aesthetics work just as well off the mountain as they do on it.
Why This Look Works
- The contrast of the brown corduroy with the orange is retro inspired, but, the design & silhouette in modern.
- Keep your base colors dark & monochromatic, letting the jacket shine.
- Lean into the après-ski style with marled socks, alpine boots and joggers tucked into the socks
Winter Formal

Oh, you thought you couldn’t wear this puffer jacket with tuxedo pants? Think again. When you’re trying to stay warm out here, rules shift. The top half of this look stays exactly the same as the one above—making it effortless—but pairing this jacket with tuxedo pants actually works for two key reasons.
- The length of jacket is similar to a tuxedo or suit jacket.
- With a slimmer silhouette, the jacket matches the fit of the tuxedo pants.
- Bonus: Of course the colorway works, we’ve seen that in look one.
