What To Wear To Perfect Your Après Ski Style
If you’re more about the vin chaud than slaloming down the slopes, then you’ve come to the right place. From luxe cashmere to the influencers’ fave snow boots, we’ve got the chicest, cosiest pieces to nail your après-ski style.
Let’s face it, the idea of a mountain-top vacay is beyond lush for some… until you mention black runs and moguls. Yep, you’ve lost me too.
For the skiers amongst you, invest in hardwearing, practical ski wear – which thankfully also looks phenomenally glamorous these days. For those heading straight for the chalet or piste-side bar, you’ll still need the practical elements minus the chunky ski boots. But let me reassure you, designers have most certainly not forgotten you. In fact, as soon as the après-ski fashion drops, it sells out. The demand is that great (so don’t miss out).
This season we’re seeing plenty of creamy neutrals. Think shearling, faux fur and super soft fleece with the must-have accessory of the season: the balaclava. Bold colours and retro styles remain favourites, too.
However, when wanting to keep warm and look stylish, quality is paramount. We Norwegians, which launched in 2014, is all about design and making of premium wool products. The fabrics, yarns and craftsmanship combined are outstanding, leaving you with pieces you’ll wear every season the snow falls.
For those seeking to stand out, Perfect Moment is a must. Famed for its striking designs, the brand, initially the vision of extreme sports filmmaker and professional skier Thierry Donard, was driven by a desire to create pieces that offered quality, style and performance. Plus, if you’re heading to one of Europe’s coolest hotels, your wardrobe should surely match…
However, you don’t have to blow the budget for the classiest of looks. Thankfully, you still have incredible winter collections to shop at the likes of FP Movement, Zara and H&M. And don’t forget to look out for the softest knitwear, faux fur and blanket-style coats at all your fave high street stores. Believe us, when we say your après-ski style has never looked so good.
