Your Cozy-Chic Packing List
for That Post-Holiday Getaway
There’s no better time for a winter getaway than when things start to wind down after the holiday season and the only thing you need to worry about is when to book that long weekend trip.
Whether your plans include fondue by the fire or exploring a quaint ski town, packing for a chalet escape is straightforward enough. Think soft knits, sumptuous textures and a touch of subtle sheen for a fresh take on winter lounging.
Luxe Knits
An impeccable knit sweater is the cornerstone of chalet style. For a solid all-rounder, a cream funnel neck with contrast stitch detail is an easy match with all your favourite bottoms, while its mock neck detail delivers that extra layer of coziness to nestle into by the fireplace.
For some extra texture and visual interest, a jacquard weave in a soft neutral will pair effortlessly with the rest of your wardrobe and will keep you warm while you enjoy a hot chocolate on the patio in the fresh mountain air.
Finally, if you’re still in the festive spirit, a striped style embellished with clear sequins is the perfect dose of sparkle without feeling too over the top.
Versatile Pants
The foundation of any après-ski ensemble are pants that look as good as they feel. For a sleek yet comfortable option, a straight-leg vegan leather pant adds polish and edge to a low-key look.
For a more laid-back feel, a slim leg in a flexible and luxurious Ponte de Roma fabric offers the type of soft stretch that moves with you, without sacrificing structure.
In the market for something extra special? A pair of stud embellished jeans exudes just as much fun at après-ski cocktails as it will at your next date night in the city.
Outerwear, but Make It Fashion
Every mountainous winter escape calls for two coats: a ski jacket (if you do plan on hitting the slopes) and the fashion-forward pick you’re glad to have as an alternative. Our recommendation: A classic silhouette in soft shearling with horn button closures exuding a rustic charm that harmonizes seamlessly with your alpine surroundings.
Winter Accessories
When it comes to countering the cold, more is always more. Whether indoors or out, topping your look with a tuque easily amps up the cozy-chic factor while adding that extra level of toastiness. Opt for a style with a removable pom-pom for that timeless everyday winter aesthetic or a sparkly embellished number for a casual yet unique vibe.
Patterned scarves infuse both dimension and warmth into your outfit. A fringed style in earth tones adds texture, whether thrown over a sweater or paired with a coat. For a most eye-catching option, pick a mixed geometric print to bring a quirky element to your style.
Last but not least, finish off your look with a pair of sleek leather or faux suede gloves, perfect for when you venture out for your morning latte run.
