This morning, Kate Middleton marked the beginning of a new royal patronage handed over to her by Queen Elizabeth II. The Duchess of Cambridge made an appearance at the Peterley Manor Farm in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, where she helped families pick out Christmas trees as part of the Family Action charity, which she will now support. And, for this festive occasion, Middleton embraced a casual—but still polished!—ensemble that was built around an essential winter coat: the puffer jacket.

The Duchess’s bright red puffer is a sold-out style from Perfect Moment, though there are plenty of similar options available on the market now (more on that below). Consider the eye-catching colorway a cure to the winter blues, not to mention an easy way to infuse any look with an extra touch of vibrancy—simply make your coat do all the work for you! For more of a holiday feel, Middleton styled hers with a bright green sweater, classic jeans, and a pair of snow-ready hiking shoes that were a weather-appropriate departure from the Duchess’s usual block-heel pumps.

Below, show six similar puffers that are Kate the Great-approved.
