From start to slopes, finding the perfect ski resort outfit can be just as hard as conquering a black diamond run — especially if you’re not sure what ski attire you need. These days, pistes double as red carpets (although red-coded trails are for intermediate terrains), so rocking stunning silhouettes is just as important as staying protected. We’ve curated the essentials: high-performance, high-quality, stylish staples to keep you warm, dry, and undeniably chic.
Smith Optics Vantage 2 MIPS Ski Helmet
This isn’t your average helmet. With its MIPS brain-protection system, adjustable vents, and sweat-activated odor control antimicrobial lining, it keeps you comfortable and cool, so you never have to worry about getting hot or hurt. Bonus: The dusty matte pink is a show stopper.

Nothing screams après-ski chic quite like these ultra-sleek goggles from Gucci. The metallic mirrored finish isn’t just for show — they shield your eyes from the worst of winter’s weather.

Stay bundled up with this dreamy, two-toned ski jacket. Lightweight yet high-performing, it sports a wear-, wind- and water-resistant shell, acting like a second skin against any extremity. We’re obsessed with its detachable, white-as-snow faux-fur collar, especially for an extra layer of warmth.

Bogner Ski Trousers
Crisp, classic, and chic, these high-waisted, water-resistant ski trousers are arguably fresher than the powder.

Zip hems create a bootcut silhouette, letting you slip them over your boots to block out any unwanted snow. Plus, they’re chic enough to wear for those well-earned, après-ski nightcaps.

Slather your skin before boarding the gondola and reap the benefits après-ski.
