When the temps start to dip and the morning runs feel extra crisp, you know what time it is… puffy season! As someone who spends half her life outside—running, mom-ing, hauling gear, chasing sunshine—having layers that are warm, lightweight, and actually cute is a non-negotiable. This year, I’m living in my 32 Degrees outerwear lineup, and it’s honestly checking all the boxes: affordable, warm, great-fitting, and mom-life approved.
So let’s get into my favorite pieces and why they’ve earned a permanent spot in my closet.

1. The Classic Puffy Jacket
If I could only choose one winter layer to wear for the rest of the season, it would be this. The classic 32 Degrees puffy jacket is that perfect everyday staple—warm without the marshmallow vibe, lightweight enough for running errands, and sleek enough to throw over workout gear or jeans.
I wear mine for everything: early school drop-off, post-run warmth, grocery runs, weekend adventures… it just works.
Why I love it:
- Super warm without bulk
- Packs down easily
- Flattering fit (no boxy shoulders!)
- Price point that doesn’t hurt your soul

2. The Lightweight Vest
I’m a vest girl through and through once we hit December. This one keeps my core warm while giving me full arm mobility—perfect for running, brisk walks, or layering under a heavier coat. It’s also my favorite transition piece for those weird winter days where it’s cold but… not quite cold.
Why it’s a must-have:
- Ideal for active days
- Minimalist fit that layers easily
- Comes in great neutrals
- Affordable enough to grab more than one
3. The Cozy Sherpa Jacket
If the puffy jacket is my practical go-to, the sherpa jacket is my cozy essential. Think: warm cup of coffee, leggings, school pickup vibes, holiday markets, cozy nights in. It’s that soft, plush layer that feels like you’re wrapped in a hug but still looks put-together.
My favorite parts:
- Ultra-soft and warm
- Cute for casual outfits
- Doesn’t shed like cheaper sherpas
- Great for layering with tees and hoodies

Why 32 Degrees Wins (Every Time)
I’ve tried a lot of outerwear over the years—running gear, lifestyle jackets, splurge pieces, budget buys. But 32 Degrees consistently hits the sweet spot: quality warmth, great fits, and everyday affordability. As a busy mom and someone who’s outside daily, that combo matters.
Plus, they hold up season after season, wash well, and don’t lose their shape—huge bonus.
