The Spirit of Après Ski

Après ski is a classic mountain-town experience. The word “aprés ski” is French, and simply means “after skiing,” or the fun you partake in off the slopes. From live music and fresh cocktails to fireside chats and hot tub hang-outs, après ski activities have grown in popularity since the 1950s. Skiers are always looking for new ways to liven up their day after the mountain closes at 4 p.m. Après ski is a skier’s social hour, so you want to dress right for the occasion! If you’re looking to attend an après ski party, shop these 10 stylish après ski outfits.

Elevate your alpine ensemble with layer-able knits, stylish ski suits, form-fitting ski pants and salopettes, cozy boots, and tried-and-true alpine accessories. I’ve worn many of these pieces while skiing in Mammoth Mountain, Lake Tahoe, Winter Park, and Copper Mountain. I know you’ll look great in them, too!

1. All-Black Fit

Perfect for the girl who likes to keep it simple but stylish. Here, I’ve linked a few of my favorite brands: Artizia, Perfect Moment, and Moon Boots. My favorite find? #6: The faux fur headband by Revolve.

2. Faux Leather & Fur Details

It’s not a *true* après ski outfit without a bit of leather and fur! Faux leather and fur, of course. Brace yourself for chilly weather in this luxurious faux-fur coat framed by an ultra-cozy shawl collar. It pairs perfectly with these faux leather leggings.

3. Alpine-Inspired Luxury

One of my favorite après ski outfits. I especially adore the faux leather jacket by SAM––a high-end outerwear line that contrasts everyday utility with alpine-inspired luxury. Pair the jacket with a NAADAM cashmere turtleneck and Perfect Moment ski pants for a chic mountain look.

4. Red Accents

Stand out from the ski crowd with pops of red. The real winner in this particular outfit is Maisonette’s long-sleeve ski sweater. It’s only $138. Grab it while you can.

This style is a steal! Most ski suits are in the upward range of $1,000. I found this Topshop ski suit for $306 at Nordstrom. I love its stretchy logo belt and a handy pass pocket on the sleeve.
