Snow outfits, ideas on… the slopes
High Fashion. The wardrobe to show off in contrast on the white expanses is a clever game of layeringincluding technical outerwear, soft knit pieces, thermal trousers and boots, in nylon or fur. Versatile ensembles that lend themselves to being worn on skis or on the slopesfor a relaxing break in the chalet, dressed up with very warm accessories: ranging from the balaclava to the maxi scarf, from the mohair “mitten” gloves to the mirrored mask to protect the eyes from the frost, up to the wide hair band to keep the foliage at high altitude.
From Old Money outerwear to the down skirt
The trick for a perfect snow outfit this season? Having fun with nuances. When choosing the padded jacket, the long and enveloping models experiment with oversized cuts and neutral colours, from optical white to grey, which blend in with the panorama. For lovers of the Old Money look, the short cropped down jackets are tinged with bright shadesfrom forest green to orange, from red to lime yellow. In a coat on the snowmobile? As long as it is in cashmere, shearling or woolwarm and basic or decorated with fringes and brilliant embroidery. The sportier alternative, the windproof raincoat.

The original piece to create a little-seen snow outfit, the quilted skirtshort or midi puffer model, in padded technical twill; but also flared overshirts in wool, or in the classic pleated tartan that is so popular at this time of year. To scale heights of style.
