When Winter rolls in, it’s not just about staying warm—it’s about looking effortlessly chic while keeping the chill out. Whether you’re sipping hot cocoa spiked with Baileys at a ski lodge in a cashmere sweater and a glittering mini skirt or making heads turn on the slopes in a Moncler puffer–or a slightly more affordable alternative, every cold-weather moment is an opportunity for a fashion statement. For this article Fashion Reverie has pulled together everything that screams après-ski glam–because nothing says ‘I belong here’ quite like a perfectly curated winter ensemble.
And let’s not forget the non-athletic Winter moments we all crave. If a winter party is on your docket this season, we know just what you should wear–a glittering dress and some heels. For a snowy walk—because we must romanticize our lives—a cozy coat draped over a creamy sweater set and some jeans will do the trick. And when it is time for a girls’ night, embrace your playful, feminine side with a satin dress and a stunning pink feather coat from Nana Jacqueline. Winter, darling, is not a season—it’s a style showcase.
The Ski Lodge: Jenni Kayne Cashmere ($195) Fran Skirt ($158)
For the coziest and chicest outfit to wear by the fireside, Fashion Reverie recommends a pair the Jenni Kayne ‘everyday sweater’ with Show me your Mumu’s sparkling, fur faux skirt. This outfit adds the perfect amount of drama to your ski lodge look, without doing too much. Complete the look with your choice of footwear. Fashion Reverie recommends you keep it cozy with a pair of warm shearling-lined boots or channel a Park Avenue meets Aspen-vibe with chic flats that prove you just came for these snowy pictures and the lodge’s spa.
Hitting the Slopes: Alo Winter Long Sleeve ($128) Half Days Soft Ski Pants ($285)
Yes, you could drop $4,000 on a Moncler ski suit and pray no one spills their spiked hot chocolate on you—but let’s be real, looking fabulous doesn’t have to come with a mortgage payment. Instead, start with Alo Yoga’s winter long sleeve, a sleek, moisture-wicking base layer that keeps you warm without the bulk (because Michelin Man chic is not the goal). Pair it with Halfdays’ Emma softshell ski pants, the perfect blend of stretch, and warmth—whether you’re carving down black diamonds or just posing for Instagram pics.
Winter Party: Aqua X Wicked Bubble ($118) Penely Sandal ($119)
Winter may be cold, but your outfit doesn’t have to be. Pair the flirty bubble dress from the Aqua x Wicked Collection with Vince Camuto’s pink feather heels for a fiery Winter party look. From the voluminous silhouette of the dress and fluffy feathers on your toes, nothing says I’m the main character more. Just be sure to grab a luxe faux fur stole before stepping outside—because elegance is freezing, but at least you’ll look stunning while you shiver.
Winter Walk: Vermont Sherpa Wrap ($280) Veronica Beard Flare Jeans ($298)
A winter walk is less about exercise and more about pretending you’re a born-again snow angel. In this outfit, the Veronica Beard flare jeans bring just the right amount of vintage cool, elongating your legs while still being practical (read: they fit over your warmest socks when the temperature hits freezing).
After putting on a cozy sweater, bundle yourself in the Vermont Sherpa wrap coat, a rich burgundy-brown dream that looks like it was made for strolling through a snow-dusted town while contemplating something poetic. Finish the look with a pair of warm, snow-ready boots—because as glamorous as this walk may be, no one looks chic slipping on ice.
