Ski Style Trends

Slope Style

Whether you’re heading to Aspen for fresh powder or spending a weekend shredding the slopes in Vail, your skiwear needs to be warm and waterproof. But why can’t it also be stylish? Today’s ski brands are turning out parkas, pants and base layers that are both

chic and practical—giving you the best of both worlds.

 

MAD FOR PLAID

A high fashion take on the classic rugged plaid shirt, this puffer jacket combines a triple threat of bright color tartan with high-shine nylon and a rhinestone embellishment. Moncler Chou puffer jacket, $2,005; and Maglione sweater, $1,060, are all at Neiman Marcus. Chaos Giana cashmere beanie with fur pom, $74.99.

WHITE OUT

Heidi wears the Sam NYC Willa down puffer jacket, $695 from Garbarini. Right, a sleek white ski parka is always a chic choice, whether worn with matching pants or paired with jeans for a casual mountain look.

FUN FUR

Sure, fur will keep you warm in the mountains, but skip the natural shades of brown, white and black, instead add a few sophisticated pops of color. Suzana wears the Sloan patchwork fox fur vest, $598; zip sweater, $98; and Kira ski pant, $478, are all from Skea.
