Ski Outfits: How to Stay Stylish On and Off the Slopes
When it comes to hitting the slopes, looking good and staying comfortable go hand in hand. Whether you're carving down the mountain or sipping cocoa at the lodge, what you wear makes all the difference. But let’s be real—ski style isn’t just about looking cool (though, yes, that matters too). It's about layering up in a way that keeps you warm, dry, and free to move. From high-performance gear for the slopes to cozy après-ski looks, we’re diving into everything you need to rock both the mountains and the chalet.
To make your shopping easier, we've included links to both luxury and affordable items so you can find the perfect fit for your style and budget. Grab your goggles, and let’s break down what to wear for the ultimate ski getaway!
On the Slopes: Puffer Jacket
When it comes to braving the cold on the slopes, a puffer jacket is your best friend. Not only are they super warm, but they also trap heat without weighing you down, so you can ski without feeling like you’re wearing a sleeping bag. We’ve linked a few that are both insulated and breathable to keep you cozy but not sweaty—because no one wants to be chilled and clammy mid-run. We also have some luxury items linked, in case you want to splurge. Zip up, and get ready to take on the mountain in style and comfort!

On the Slopes: Flare Ski Pants
Flare ski pants are making a serious comeback, and we’re here for it! Not only do they give off major retro vibes, but they also offer a bit more freedom of movement around the knees, which is perfect for carving up the slopes. The wide-leg style adds a fun, stylish twist while still being functional—try a pair with a bit of stretch and a high waist for extra comfort and support. To elevate your look even more: style your flare pants with a matching puffer jacket for a sleek, coordinated outfit. This will create the same look as a ski suit. You’ll be effortlessly blending style with performance, whether you’re skiing or just strolling through the village.

On the Slopes and Après Ski: Shoes and Accessories
When it comes to accessories, the right gear can make or break your ski look—both on the mountain and at the lodge. For the slopes, you’ll want sturdy, insulated gloves and a hat that’ll keep your ears warm without messing with your helmet.
Off the slopes, it’s all about comfort and style. Think chic, waterproof boots that can handle a little snow and slush while still looking cute for après-ski hot chocolate. Add a cozy knit beanie, a chunky scarf, and some oversized sunglasses, and you’ve got a look that’s as ready for après-ski as it is for the slopes. You can even layer up with a statement pair of gloves or a stylish puffer bag to bring everything together.

Après Ski: Cozy Sweater
After a day on the slopes, nothing feels better than slipping into a cozy sweater. Whether you’re heading to the lodge for some post-ski snacks or just lounging by the fire, a chunky knit or cashmere turtleneck is the perfect après-ski essential. Opt for oversized silhouettes that let you relax in style, or go for something with a fun pattern—think fair isle or stripes—to add a bit of flair. Pair it with leggings, jeans, or even your flare ski pants for a laid-back look that’s both comfy and cute. If you’re feeling extra cozy, throw on a fleece-lined sweater or a sweater dress, and you’re good to go!

Après Ski: Stylish Coat
When it comes to après-ski, a stylish coat is the ultimate way to elevate your look while staying warm. We suggest trying tailored wool coats, chic long puffer jackets, or even a faux fur coat for a little extra glamor. Ideally, find something that looks as good as it performs—because after all, you’re not just heading indoors, you're making an entrance! A belted coat or a statement color can give you that fashionable edge, while still keeping the chill at bay. Whether you're meeting friends for dinner or just strolling through the village, a sleek coat will pull your whole après-ski outfit together with ease. Plus, a coat that's both stylish and cozy is the perfect way to show off your slopes-to-lodge style game.
