We've picked stylish pieces to keep you warm even in the harshest winter.
Après-ski is a key part of ski culture. It's the time when, after a long day on the slopes, you finally chill out—whether it’s lounging on a terrace with an Aperol in hand and a view of snowy mountains, taking a stroll through a charming village, or enjoying some mountain cuisine.
Après-ski also includes fashion, combining subtle luxury, elegance, comfy pieces, and practical layers to withstand those freezing temps. According to well-known fashion magazines, chunky retro sweaters, quilted jackets, balaclavas, and bulky snow boots are all the rage recently.
We've put together a guide to après-ski style that you can also rock in the city.
