Once the holidays are over, the cold weather gives less winter wonderland and more dreary wasteland. But, there is one thing that makes freezing temps and inches of snow worth it, and that's après ski.

What is après ski? Basically, it's French term used to describe the social events that follow a day on the slopes. And often, it can be the perfect opportunity to turn a look. So much so that après ski has become fashion trend all its own.

An aprés ski outfit is all about staying warm and cozy but looking chic. That means layering is a must.

Start with a warm yet breathable base layer— think a cashmere or thermal top and fleece-lined leggings— followed by a fleece pullover or Fair Isle sweater. Finish if off with a sporty puffer in a bold hue and a trendy knitted balaclava or glamorous faux fur hat.

Whether you ski, snowboard, or just drink hot cocoa at the base of the mountain, you'll achieve peak style with these chic après ski pieces. We found must-see fashion pieces starting at just $20!
