FINDING an all-weather coat is no mean feat but George’s new £55 puffer can be transformed into five different styles to suit the outdoor conditions.
At £11 a look, you can choose to wear a full-length puffer or gilet with long or short sleeves, a cropped jacket, and with hood or not.
Clemmie Fieldsend illustrates how to style this supermarket steal.
1. CROPPED PUFFER
Zip off the bottom part of the coat for a cropped puffer jacket.
Despite its casual look you can dress it up with kitten heel boots, tights and a mini skirt and add in cosy textures like this fluffy, collared cardigan.
- Pink cardigan, £65, Monsoon; skirt, £45, Next; belt, £29.99, Zara; tights, £6.99, Calzedonia; boots, £44,

2. LONG GILET
FOR commutes when you go from cold to hot in a matter of minutes, trust in a long sleeveless gilet.
With a tonal coloured dress like this on-trend berry number and muted khaki boots, the long puffer will keep your body warm without overheating you if you’re on crowded public transport.
- Dress, £50, and boots, £85, Next; bag, £29.99, New Look
3. FULL-LENGTH COAT
For deepest, darkest winter – or a long dog walk – wrap up in the coat’s fullest version.
