When I tuned in to watch “Martha”, the new Martha Stewart documentary on Netflix, there were certain things I was expecting: a recap of her early aughts prison sentence, peeks inside of her breathtaking estates, a Snoop Dogg cameo perhaps. What I was not prepared for was to be so sartorially influenced by something she wore in the documentary, that I actually took the rest of the evening hunting down similar looks. The fashion piece in question you might ask? A puffer coat. But not just any puffer coat — a short-sleeved iteration. For anyone struggling to envision such a puffer, Stewart has blessed us with a less fleeting glimpse of herself modeling the covetable outerwear in a recent Instagram post.
After a bit more digging, I discovered that Stewart herself pumped out a collection of these Martha Stewart Puffy Down Vests, which you can swoop up on Amazon for $60. If you, like me, are excited about the discovery of this puffer vest and coat hybrid, you’ll be happy to know that versions of this short-sleeve puffer exist across various brands. Whether you prefer diamond quilting, an oversized fit, a poncho vibe, or just want more color variations that look similar to the one Stewart is wearing, I’ve got you covered. With options starting at just $18, it can even be done on a down-sized budget. Keep reading to see a variety of short-sleeve puffer coats you’ll want to add to your cart.
