Any skier knows that being on-piste is only part of the thrill of a trip to the mountains. Other perks? A crisp glass of bubbly, hot cocoa in the hot tub as the light dims, the fresh scent of snow...and, of course, the delight of the après ski runway of winter fashions. From plush shearling boots to sporty insulated coats, take some inspiration from these 10 fashion icons to style yourself for the slopes.

Retro Glamour

Want to look like a classic movie star? The look for you is inspired by the slope side styles of Audrey Hepburn in Charade. Think: neutral and understated layers, oversized frames, and an elegant jacket. Also, add a balaclava. You won't regret it.

The modern take on the retro balaclava? A relaxed fit in a luxurious cashmere.

Sip your hot cocoa in some cocoa cashmere.

Puffers: ideal for style and comfort.

Sporty Pops of Color

Going for functionality doesn't mean sacrificing style. Lean into the sporty aesthetic with clothing to keep you warm and moving well—like Kate Middleton, who opts for practical gear with pops of color.

An immediate way to accomplish this aesthetic? Chic color blocking.

Slalom Half-Zip Wool-Cashmere Sweater

Ski Pom Pom Hat

Go quintessential with a ski beanie complete with an adorable pom pom. Plus, you can even get it personalized.

Neutrals and Animal Print

For a dash of joie de vivre, add in a sultry animal print. Shades that go along—blacks, browns, and tans—ground the outfit in a flattering neutral too. Better yet, the print's currently trending.

Virgin Wool And Cashmere Rib Knit Lightweight Sweater

A neutral layer is a wonderful investment that makes any outfit, and this sweater is no exception—complete with an embellished zipper.

Pippa Ski Pants

Embrace an almost equestrian look with dark brown ski pants with bonded fleece on the inside.

Hill Faux Fur and Padded Leather Mittens

You might as well go all-in on the fur look, and these leather and fur mittens from Goldbergh are sure to keep your fingers toasty warm.

55MM Rectangular Sunglasses

Don't forget about protective eyewear. The sun glinting off the snow on those bluebird days? Nothing better.

Warm boots can make a world of difference, and Canada Goose extends its famous coat insulation to footwear without missing a beat.

Deemed "inactivewear" by the brand and designed for leisurely escapes, this cabana jacket for its après ski collection is practically worthy of a champagne toast itself.

Fur trapper hats always command attention—and keep your ears nice and cozy.
