How to Style a Puffer Jacket for a Job Interview
A Puffer Jacket can work for a job interview only if the company codes casual—think startups or creative agencies where Chelsea Boots and a streamlined silhouette keep the look polished rather than sporty. If you're adding a Silk Scarf, you're softening the technical edge just enough to read as deliberate, not underprepared. Anything more formal than business casual, and this jacket undermines the occasion.
