Are you wondering what to wear in winter in the classroom or on the weekends? Today, I’m showing cute puffer vest outfit ideas. Vests are the perfect layering pieces for winter outfits because they don’t restrict movement and they don’t overheat you. Obviously, layering clothes is important for long days in the classroom if you are a teacher, like me. And many other jobs require lots of movement, too.
Some of my favorite, favorite teacher teacher outfits are my winter outfits with puffer vests and quilted vests. I have a variety of puffer vests and quilted vests in various colors and styles. Some I bought with the intent of using in my winter attire around specific holidays – like Valentine’s Day or Christmas. However, these same puffer vests are easily used in everyday puffer vest outfits.

Layering Clothes for Puffer Vest Outfits
Green Vest Outfit
This green vest was the first puffer vest I ever purchased. I originally bought it to wear at Christmas time, but it has been such a fun addition to my cold weather outfits! It is a fantastic outfit to wear in winter because puffer vests are incredibly warm.
Typically, I wear my puffer vests to school for casual Friday outfits with jeans. I took a lot of these photos in this post on the weekend. Therefore, you see a lot of shredded jeans. Obviously, I don’t wear those particular pairs of shredded jeans to work. Also, it is super easy to pull off a puffer vest outfit during the rest of the work week by simply switching jeans for black trousers or gray slacks.
Puffer vests actually provide a lot of heat, making them a perfect for cold weather outfits.

I am often asked where I got these animal print slip-on sneakers. They are Guess brand, and my husband bought them for me on Amazon for Christmas three or four years ago. Unfortunately, they are out of stock, but I am linking up different leopard print slip ons below.
