Hello, snow bunnies!
Ski season has arrived, and while some are here for the thrill of the slopes, others are just here for the après-ski—and honestly, both are equally valid. Because let’s be real: half the fun of a ski trip is what you wear, whether you're gliding down the mountain or holding court at the bar with a hot toddy in hand.
The best part? A lot of ski essentials are already on sale, which means now is the time to invest in timeless, high-performance pieces that will last for seasons to come. I’ve curated four ski-ready looks to match every kind of skier (or après-skier), from the die-hard powder chaser to the one who’s really just there for the fondue.
Outfit 1: The Quiet Luxury Skier
For those who swear by Brunello Cucinelli and Loro Piana, detest bright colours, and curate their Instagram like an editorial spread—this one’s for you. You love the mountains, but your wardrobe remains a shrine to neutrals. On the slopes, you’ll be in a monochrome ski ensemble; off them, a belted wool coat and shearling-lined boots will keep you effortlessly in sync with your perfectly polished aesthetic.
Outfit 2: The Retro Skier
For you, a ski trip isn’t just about the sport—it’s a runway carved into the mountains. Whether you’re gliding down the slopes or sipping a spritz at après, your look is just as important as your form. Bold colors, luxurious layers, and a touch of sparkle? Channel the retro glamour of the ‘70s with vibrant patterns and statement-making hues.
Outfit 3: The Alpine Icon
For the skier who actually skis—fast, fierce, and first on the lift every morning. You need function, but you also need to look put together when you unclip your boots at the lodge. Think sleek, streamlined layers that move with you, perfectly fitted ski pants, and a high-performance jacket that doesn’t scream tourist.
Outfit 4: The Après-Ski Aficionado
You know your way around the slopes, but let’s be honest—the real event starts when the last run ends. You’re here for the après, where the champagne flows as freely as the stories from the day. Your look is effortless yet intentional—think a statement knit, sleek ski pants, and boots that were made for making an entrance. Whether you're sipping mulled wine by the fire or dancing on tables at the après hotspot, your outfit ensures you look just as good off the slopes as you (allegedly) do on them.
