How to Wear Après Ski Attire

You spent all day layered in warm gear for your runs down the mountain but once you come down off the slopes it's time to ditch the snow pants and ski masks for something a little sleeker before heading into the village for drinks and dinner.
When it comes to dressing for après ski, it's not just about warmth, but also great style.

Start with basic leggings, says Max Martinez, owner of MAX boutiques in Aspen, Denver and Boulder, Colo. "Look for anything from stretch denim to leather to wool, and then put on your great Rick Owens cardigan sweater and you're good to go," he says. "And Prada Sport always works for après ski."

Accessories count, too.

"You can't go out without a great cashmere scarf," Martinez says. "Muted tones to bright colors to fringe – that's the accessory for après ski – the accessory of the season is your big, beautiful scarf. Between leggings, Rick Owens and a good scarf, you're good to roll in Aspen, Colorado."

More après ski tips and trends after the jump: The latest colors, prints and styles:
  • Echo's Roberts says herringbone and houndstooth vests and faux fur jackets are hot this season, as well as "plaids and ruffles in brights and neutrals."
  • "Big color blocking with bright pops are strong: reds, oranges, purples and blues together and separate are strong this season," says JD Hendley, senior designer for tech outerwear at Oakley. "Don't be afraid to mix colors. Prints are getting oversized and have lots of layers and depth to them." He says preppy fabrics, metal zippers and hardware are also trendy this season.
At the very least, these pieces would be good investments, whether you're hitting the slopes or not:
  • "A neckwarmer and trapper hat," says Roberts.
  • "I am always a fan of getting a three-in-one jacket that works well when traveling," says Hendley. "Having the jacket that layers into another jacket lets you wear the light jacket when traveling. And if you arrive at your resort and it is super cold or the sun breaks out, you can adapt to the changing conditions without having to own two or three jackets."
In order to keep your cool:
  • "I would stick to jackets that have great venting so you can let lots of heat out," says Hendley. "As far as insulation goes, it really varies on the area where you live and ride, but having jackets that are adaptable to the changes are always a safe bet."
