As the crisp air of fall sweeps through New York, it’s the perfect time to embrace layering. A puffer vest is the ultimate versatile piece that provides warmth without compromising on style. Whether you're heading to Central Park or grabbing coffee in the West Village, here are five stylish ways to wear a puffer vest this fall.

1. Casual Chic with a Hoodie

One of the easiest and trendiest ways to wear a puffer vest is by layering it over a hoodie. Opt for a neutral-colored puffer vest from Orolay’s collection and pair it with a cozy oversized hoodie in a contrasting shade. This look is perfect for weekend strolls around the city or running errands. Complete the outfit with skinny jeans and white sneakers for that effortlessly cool vibe.

2. Over a Sweater Dress for a Cozy Vibe

For a stylish yet comfortable outfit, layer your puffer vest over a sweater dress. This combination is ideal for casual fall outings, like brunch or a visit to a museum. Choose a longer puffer vest to balance out the silhouette, and wear it with knee-high boots for a chic look that keeps you warm without being too bulky. Add a scarf and beanie for a cozy, fall-ready outfit.

3. Sophisticated Layering with a Turtleneck

For a more polished look, style your puffer vest with a slim-fitting turtleneck. The streamlined shape of a turtleneck contrasts perfectly with the puffy texture of the vest, creating a sophisticated layered look. Pair this combination with tailored trousers or dark jeans and ankle boots. This outfit works well for both casual office days or after-work dinner plans in NYC.

4. Athleisure-Inspired Street Style

Athleisure is here to stay, and a puffer vest is the perfect piece to elevate your sporty look. Layer your vest over a long-sleeve activewear top or crewneck sweatshirt and pair it with leggings or joggers. Add some sleek sneakers and you're ready for a comfortable day of exploring the city or hitting the gym. Choose a puffer vest in a bold color to add a pop of personality to your athleisure outfit.

5. Layered Over a Denim Jacket

For those slightly warmer fall days, layer your puffer vest over a classic denim jacket. The denim adds structure and texture, while the puffer vest keeps you warm. This combination works especially well with a pair of black jeans or faux leather leggings. Add some combat boots for a modern, edgy touch that’s perfect for a day out in SoHo or exploring Brooklyn's art scene.

Whether you're aiming for casual comfort or chic sophistication, a puffer vest is the ultimate fall layering piece. With its versatility and functionality, it's a must-have for navigating New York's fall weather while staying stylish.
