How to Put Together the Perfect Apres Ski Outfit

The only thing more thrilling than conquering a black diamond slope is getting cozy and chic in the perfect après ski outfit. Whether you’re nursing that mug of hot cocoa by the fireplace or headed to the mountain lodge for a nice dinner, the best après ski outfit is one that combines warmth, comfort, and — most importantly — style! An après ski look is all about trendy boots, snug sweaters, and fabulous outerwear so you can unwind in confidence after a fun day on the slopes. After all that action on the mountain, check out our guide on how to give your après ski style a lift.

1. Layer Up for Comfort — Layer up in trendy sweaters that are perfect for wearing both on the slopes and while sipping your après ski Hot Toddy. Vogue shares that there are four easy steps to get the perfect après ski style: wear ski sweaters, pack ski pants, choose alpine accessories, and say “yes, please!” to snow boots. And at Avara, we’d like to add a tip of our own: make sure you layer up for comfort.

2. Wear Snow-Ready Boots — While you may wear your ski boots or snowboarding boots on the slopes, you’ll want snow-ready boots for your après ski look. Besides trudging through the snow, they act as a total winter-style statement. Pair your boots with thick leggings or skinny jeans to show off the chic design. Add on a puffer jacket or cozy oversized sweater for a trendy yet functional look. Feeling a little playful? Try layering with a chunky knit scarf and beanie. Consider wearing neutral tones and adding on a fun accessory in a bold color to effortlessly elevate your winter outfit.

3. Accessorize for Warmth — Winter accessories aren’t just about looking cute. They’re also about staying warm! Start with a practical chunky knit scarf that feels like you’re wearing a cozy hug. Add on a beanie or beret to keep your ears toasty. We’re all about mittens or gloves to stay snug. Level up the glam with a statement coat and fuzzy earmuffs. Bonus points if you have accessories in fun patterns or bold colors to brighten up a dreary winter day because your winter accessories can do all the heavy lifting.

4. Mix in Trendy Pieces — Whether you’re looking for cozy knits to keep you warm or chic designs to show off your après ski look, our tops for women are a must-have for every ski season. At the same time, you’ll definitely want basics and neutrals in your après ski wardrobe. Mix in a few trendy pieces, like a statement coat in a bold color or a necklace with an unexpected print, to turn heads. Add a pop of color with our Renee Necklace, or snag all the compliments in the perfect Lexi Jacket puffer. Don’t shy away from trendy sweaters with fun embellishments and unique textures like our Clarice Sweater. Complete your look with oversized scarves, and with the right mix of essential and trendy, you’ll stay fashionable all through this winter season.
