The brand's warmest outerwear piece is also a celebrity favorite.

YOU’VE PROBABLY seen this MVP winter coat a gazillion times this season, usually on IG influencers or guys with great taste. Wherever you go in any big city, this cold-weather outerwear hero somehow follows. And since this happens to be The North Face’s RMST Nuptse Jacket, its chokehold on our winter wardrobe rotation won't end anytime soon. Especially with Harry Styles recently cementing its status as the best winter jacket for the money.

This is not the first time the "Watermelon" singer was seen sporting a puffer jacket by The North Face: just a few months ago, Styles wore the yellow 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket—the predecessor to RMST Nuptse—in Boston. But this time, in London, the singer had on the newer, updated piece in black. Kind of makes you wonder: just how many Nuptse puffers does he actually own? In how many colors?

Clearly, the pop star who's also a bona fide street-style icon (cue the time he showed out in a pink hoodie and Vuori's Kore shorts), loves a good remix. The Retro Nuptse Jacket, named after a mountain in the Himalayas, was first released in 1996. The RMST Nuptse Puffer is the remastered version: save for the branding and monochromatic tone, it's updated with a high-alpine aesthetic in a boxier silhouette and a more relaxed fit. (It looks much puffier than the original, basically.) But RMST Nuptse remains as much of a winter staple and as effective against the cold, having been made with a 700-fill waterfowl down—to which The North Face has given its highest rating in warmth, making the puffer jacket the warmest in the brand's outerwear catalog yet.

What explains even more about the Nuptse's vast popularity is perhaps its updated functionality. Despite a lofty down fill, it's extremely compressible and can be stowed as a packable down jacket, making this commute-ready, everyday puffer a travel style essential too.

And to think the RMST Nuptse Jacket costs only $500, versus other winter performance outerwear which can set you back a north of $1,000. Makes sense that Harry Styles has stocked up his wardrobe with more than one of The North Face's Nuptse models. Not that he needs to concern about splurging on clothes, but having a few stylish getups that can be easily thrown on to fend off the cold is something even the A-listers can appreciate, not just us average joes.
