Après-Ski Outfits: What Are the Fashion Essentials to Bring?

While some of us enjoy the festive season by going back home, others prefer to ring in the festive merriment on the slopes. If you’re heading into ski season, it’s the perfect time to update your ski and après-ski (post-skiing) wardrobe with luxury winter fashion essentials.

The latest ski fashion trends blend high-performance functionality with polished style, featuring warm and elegant ski sweaters, cosy ski pants, and water-repellent puffer jackets, among others. These pieces showcase rich, premium materials, ergonomic designs, and flawless craftsmanship, all designed to keep you comfortable during your holiday getaways.

Here are some must-bring ski outfits to pack for your next snowy escapade.

Ski Sweaters

We all know that sweaters are synonymous with the holiday season, but this versatile fashion staple also works beautifully as a layering piece under coats or jackets. Beyond warmth, luxury ski sweaters pair effortlessly with multiple outfits, from ski pants during the day on the slopes to denim jeans or leggings for relaxed evenings.

Coveted brands like Brunello Cucinelli are renowned for their wool and cashmere sweaters, crafted with exquisite patterns and refined knitwork that make them a must-have for ski season. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for sleek, modern knitwear with a minimalist edge, German brand Jil Sander offers clean silhouettes and polished designs for both ladies and gentes that transition seamlessly from alpine settings to après-ski moments.

Puffer Jackets

There is no better luxury ski wear than the alpine-heritage brand Moncler. This Italian house has been delivering luxurious ski pieces for decades, and if you’re considering investing in one of its ski jackets, now is the perfect time.

From hooded down jackets to versatile shirt jackets, our curated selection of Moncler jackets offer something for everyone. Take the Moncler Maya Down Jacket, for instance. Crafted from glossy nylon laqué with iconic boudin quilting, this short puffer features a strong silhouette, a detachable hood, and an adjustable hemline with drawstring fastening. Timeless and instantly recognisable, it allows you to stand out on the slopes while staying insulated, comfortable, and free to move.

Snow Boots

A great pair of winter boots after a day on the slopes is a worthwhile investment for the holiday season. Whether crafted from padded nylon, leather, or suede, a luxury pair of boots can transform your outfits, and choosing the right style means you can move seamlessly from the slopes straight to a cosy bar for drinks.

This year also marks the return of chunky winter boots, featuring a mix of practical design details and statement accents, from grippy soles and buckles to shearling linings, secure closures, and thick soles designed for walking comfortably in deep snow. For daytime on the slopes, pair them with ski pants or insulated leggings for a streamlined look, then transition into the evening by styling them with denim or leather skirt with cosy knit. With options from Sorel and Tod’s, there is something for everyone to shop before hitting the slopes.

Après Accessories

Last but not least, no après-ski look is complete without the right accessories. From warm and cosy scarves and shawls made of precious cashmere from Etro to must-have hats and knitted beanies by Valentino and MCM these winter  not only keep you protected from the cold but also add personality and polish to your outfits.

Not only that, you should never head out without winter-ready sunglasses, especially when you can choose from coveted Parisian brands like Celine, as well as stunning brand-new, in-season frames by Tiffany & Co. Crafted from luxurious materials and defined by chic, stylish designs, these designer sunnies add polish to any outfit while keeping your look effortlessly refined.
