The Airport Edit

Your most important accessory this winter? Undoubtedly, your luggage. We know that fitting in everything from ski trousers to your Dyson hair dryer can feel like a challenge, but trust us, it's not impossible. With some careful suitcase Tetris, and a trusty Samsonite bag, you’ll fit more than you expect.
Of course, the airport outfit deserves just as much consideration. We’re thinking Tala leggings, an Adanola crew neck and UGGs for the ultimate travel uniform. Comfy, cosy and effortlessly chic, it's the perfect combination. Once your luggage is checked in, it's time to turn your attention to the carry-on. A Kipling Duffle Bag will fit all the essentials: your Stanley cup for hydration, Apple headphones for a little peace and quiet, and a YETI Rambler mug for that last sip of coffee before a busy week on the slopes.
The Mountain Edit
The early morning alarm is calling, and it’s time to get ready for your first day on the slopes. Dressing for the mountains is all about mastering the three-layer system. Start with a practical base layer from Perfect Moment, designed to keep you dry and comfortable all day long. Next, you’ll want an insulating mid layer from SKIMS to trap your body heat and keep you warm. Complete the trifecta with a protective outer layer. This acts as your shield from the wind, snow and rain, but Yves Salomon's iconic ski jackets and trousers can do both in style.
And don’t forget your final layer of protection. Solas Sun SPF is an essential for protecting your skin from the winter sun, which believe it or not can be just as important on the slopes. Accessorise with mittens, ski goggles and the far from subtle black Moon Boots, combining insulated lining and waterproof materials with an iconic sense of style.
Après Ski

It hits 3pm, the skis are off and it’s time for a well-earned Aperol. Whether you are in St. Anton am Arlberg in Austria or the picturesque resort of Saas-Fee, nestled among the highest peaks of the Swiss Alps, after a day on the slopes it’s time to swap your ski gear for something a little more relaxed. Après-ski style is all about looking effortlessly chic, with an understated yet elevated approach and a nod to the retro glamour of the 1980s. Think Fair Isle cosy retro ski sweaters like our Isabel Marant Étoile pick, paired with Nili Lotan’s Shon Cargo Trousers and Saint Laurent sunglasses.
As the afternoon sun begins to set, layer up in a shearling padded jacket from Yves Salomon for a little extra warmth. Complete the look with a Moncler beanie and swap out your moon boots for UGG’s Ellis Nubuck Loafers.
Après Hours
Your Après Ski affairs will gradually transition into Après Hours, which inevitably calls for an outfit change. Whether you are dressing for a rustic dinner at the resort or a night of partying and bubbly, own the night in faux fur and sparkle, bringing a touch of city glamour to the slopes. For a rustic alpine soirée, we love this sequin two-piece from Bardot, paired with heels and layered with a faux fur bomber jacket.
And now for the fun details. Find scintillating fine jewellery from Missoma and finish your evening look with Staud’s Winslow Feather Shoulder Bag. For the final touch, reach for the Victoria Beckham Lip Definer, a classic sleek silver pencil that makes it easy to trace a precise lip line. Add a spritz of Tom Ford Soleil Neige Eau de Parfum to give you that signature Après Ski scent, and off you go!
The Chalet Essentials

A week on the slopes can catch up on a girl, so you might opt for a night in and have an Après Ski recovery evening in your classic wooden chalet. The high altitude and dry air will leave your skin feeling parched, so a hydrating face mask is first on our chalet essentials list. Biodance’s Bio Collagen-Real Deep Mask is our top choice if you want one mask that does it all, with key ingredient s from probiotics to collagen and hyaluronic acid. For lips, reach for Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask to lock in a little extra moisture, then we advise you run yourself an Epsom salts bath for extra recovery.
Your hair can feel the effects of the dry mountain air too. Dyson’s Supersonic hair dryer delivers powerful fast drying results while protecting hair health. Slip into a SKIMS pyjama set and settle in by the fire. If you are spending a week on the slopes, we recommend you make at least one evening like this to ensure you look and feel your best all trip long!
