Ikram's It List: Cozy Up With The Style Maven's Favorite Puffer Jacket

With perfect proportions and oh-so-chic colors, the puffer jacket by Italian brand Khrisjoy will have you craving the season’s next cold snap.
Khrisjoy forgoes shapeless bulk in favor of a chic silhouette with its must-wear puffer jacket.
When it comes to surviving a Chicago winter, style all too often goes out the door in favor of bulky, unflattering parkas that have about as much fashion cred as the Michelin Man. But who says a warm coat has to be so blah? Not Chicago boutique owner Ikram Goldman. Her new fave way to stay cozy during a snowpocalypse is a puffer jacket by of-the-moment Italian label Khrisjoy, which adds a level of chic to wintertime wardrobes.
“From a proportion standpoint, it’s the best of the best,” enthuses Goldman, citing the detail of how the shoulder drops so the wearer looks small. “So warm, incredibly packable, easy to wear and in the most fun colors one can think of—the perfect pink, the perfect yellow, the perfect blue. This is the kind of warmth I want to be blanketed with for a cold Chicago winter.”

Best of all, says Goldman, this puffer is incredibly versatile and able to be dressed up. Even to a gala? “One hundred percent,” she says. “Last year, one of my clients was wearing a long green dress to a gala and needed a coat to wear over the dress, and this was the perfect coat. Just magnificent.” 15 E. Huron St., ikram.com; khrisjoy.com
