Jennifer Aniston is renowned for making casual basics look unbelievably chic – and this look might just be the best showcase of her fashion talents.
Stepping out back in 2011 to a Super Bowl XLV football game in Arlington, Texas, Jen paired her high-shine puffer with subtle flared jeans and tan suede boots. The puffer jacket is notoriously difficult to style, the shapeless cut needing clever styling to elevate its functional design.
Don't get us wrong, we love a puffer jacket, it's one of the best winter coats for when the temperature drops. It's function, quite rightly, overrides its style, but that doesn't mean when wearing one we don't want to look and feel good. Jen's outfit is a brilliant example of how to elevated this style of coat – and it's really easy to recreate.

Sometimes all it takes to elevate a basic is a tweak in material, something Jen is clearly aware of with her high-shine puffer. This water resistant piece is strikingly similar to Jen's, but no doubt a fraction of the cost. The volume and high collar elevate the look and add extra protection against the elements.
Elevated puffer jackets don't come much better than this. Perfect for keeping you warm and making a statement, this striking piece has a shower resistant high-shine outer layer, press stud fastening slightly off-centre, adjustable waist toggles and high collar for the coolest look.
Simple but classic, this collar puffer jacket from Sam Edelman is super versatile - you could pair this with pretty much any winter outfit. A covered placket and high collar will ensure you stay warm, and the less puffed design makes it all the more flattering. Currently on sale, this is selling fast!
These wide calf knee-high boots would make a beautiful and versatile addition to any winter wardrobe. The short stacked heel makes for comfortable, all-day wear, and the pointy toe oozes Western style. These gorgeous boots will elevate any daytime outfit, and add a touch of elegance to any evening look.
We can't quite believe how similar these super affordable Wit & Wisdom jeans are to Jen's. Made from stretch denim for added comfort, the high waist and slightly flared leg creates the most flattering silhouette. We love how these have been styled with suede, Western-inspired boots like Jen too.
There's nothing quite like the cosiness a heavyweight scarf can offer when the temperature drops. And this beautiful piece from Next is a solid option. The neutral colour makes it super versatile, and the soft knitted fabric means not an itch in sight. It's a great price point too!
Jen's look might be from a while back, but, always way ahead of the curve, she's wearing some of this season's hottest trends. The actress elevated her signature jeans not only with her high-shine puffer, but with some of the best suede boots going, taking the outfit for casual everyday, to something altogether more chic.
Wearing jeans with a really subtle flare allowed her to wear them over the top of her boots, elongating her legs and creating the most flattering silhouette. The scarf adds a pop of colour and the ability to de-layer if need be. It's this considered, clever styling we've come to expect from Jennifer, and something we are always appreciative of.
As we get further into winter, we're going to need an alternative to our trusty trench coats, and whereas before a puffer jacket might not have been our first choice, Jen has just convinced us otherwise.
