Nothing says winter break like hitting the slopes, and a ski trip is the pefect excuse to put your fashionable holiday gifts to good use. Not sure how to put together an après-ski (literally meaning “after skiing”) outfit? Her Campus has you covered. By mixing cozy basics with glam touches like faux fur, your slopeside style will be on point, whether you’re spending winter break in Aspen or the Alps.
1. Shades of grey
Look chic when you pair faux leather Jack by BB Dakota Belmar Pants ($35 at BB Dakota) with a longer-length cashmere blend sweater, like this Cotton Cashmere Tunic ($39.90 at UNIQLO). Since your sweater is longer, you can get away with a shorter, sassier faux fur jacket, and we love this Zebra Faux Fur Jacket ($89.99 at Mango), which ties in with the black and grey theme. Add a bit of height and a touch of shearling with these Elegant Footwear Afana Wedge Bootie ($36.97 at Nordstrom Rack) and finish off your celeb-off-duty look with your favorite diva glasses, like these Quay Ksea Shades ($28 at Nasty Gal). Now you’re ready to strut your stuff slopeside!
2. Rustic and romantic
If earthy tones are more your thing, look no further than this rustic look. Start by pairing a snuggly sweater dress, like this HEATTECH Lounge Dress ($29.90 at UNIQLO) with basic brown tights, like these Warming to the Idea Tights in Brown ($8.99 at ModCloth). Add après-ski touches by layering this gorgeous Plaid Grain Imitated Cashmere Tassels Cape ($18.20 at ChicNova) underneath a Wide Lapels Fur & Leather Coat ($53.99 at BlackFive) for an earthy take on texture. Finish off this look with some seriously snuggly boots with embroidered and fur details, like these MUK LUKS Gwen Tall Snow Boot in Brown Snowflake ($89.99 at 6pm). Now grab your hot chocolate and you’re good to go!
3. Comfy and cozy
For a more casual vibe, pair colored skinny jeans, like these Chance Encounter Pants in Cocoa ($21.99 at ModCloth) with a slopeside staple: An oversized and snuggly turtleneck sweater, like this Sweet Apricot Turtleneck Long Sleeve Knitting Cable Sweater ($26.94 at Rotita). Bundle up in this Faux Fur Trim Tie-Waist Parka ($81.52 at YesStyle) with a furry hood you can pop up whenever the weather gets a bit too cold. Fur hood not quite doing it for you? Throw on this Faux Fur Trapper Hat ($17 at Indigo) to keep your ears toasty warm (plus, it practically screams après-ski!). Throw on some adorable fur-trimmed booties, like these Buckled Faux Fur Booties ($26.53 at Forever 21), to round out this cozy look.
With the right balance of sleek and snuggly (and some serious faux fur) you’ll be looking après-ski-chic all vacation long!
