Apres Ski Glam Trend UNI
Dasha Burobina for PureWow

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fashion is so delightful! From chic fur hats and cozy knit pants to '80s-inspired bold jewelry and slicks of red lipstick, the après-ski glam trend is a total winter wonderland for fashionistas who want to channel their inner ski chalet socialite. Think of Emily's looks in the latest season of Emily in Paris or the Kardashians whenever they go on a ski trip, and you'll have the aesthetic down pat in no time. Or you can just keep reading so I can tell you everything you need to know about the fashion trend that's going to be everywhere this winter, even if you're not planning on hitting the slopes.

Where Did the Après-Ski Glam Trend Come From?

Après-ski fashion is not new. It is believed to have originated in the 1950s, along with the term "après-ski" itself (a French phrase that refers to social activities that take place after a day of skiing or snowboarding). That said, the après-ski glam trend is an elevated, '80s-inspired take on the Alpine aesthetic inspired by the well-to-do ski towns of Aspen, St. Moritz and Courchevel. So, as TikToker @blakeevinn said in her viral video, "If you're not dressing like you just came from the most glamorous 1900s ski party, then you're doing winter fashion completely wrong."

How to Achieve the Ultimate Après-Ski Glam Outfit

To pull off the look, you'll want to lean into the cozy and luxe. Think: a faux fur coat, furry accessories (like a hat and gloves), some body-skimming knitwearbold gold jewelry and anything Fair Isle (sweaters, cardigans, leggings—you name it). If you really want to nail the aesthetic, pull a Taylor Swift and top off your outfit with the perfect red lipstick. After all, the best way to combat dreary winter weather is to dress up for it! Don't know where to start? I've rounded up 11 items that will (sorry, not sorry) have you slaying the après-ski glam trend better than any Kardashian by the weekend.

You can give any winter ensemble an après-ski twist by topping it off with some furry headwear, so if you want to pull off the trend with as little effort as possible, secure this plush faux fur hat ASAP! It has a retro pillbox shape, and I bet it's even softer than it looks. Just note that you'll have to have it dry-cleaned to keep it in chic condition all winter long.

Want to feel like you're heading to a snowy chalet soirée? Add a Little White Dress to your going-out rotation. This swingy mini is my top pick in that department, specifically for its feathered cuffs and wintry mock neck. And I'm not the only one who's obsessed. One buyer raves, "The weight of the fabric gives a feeling of quality. The feathers are fun but not too flashy. Paired with...statement earrings and classic black heels, love!"

This Chanel-inspired lady jacket is so '80s glam. From its padded shoulders and boxy fit to its smattering of glitzy gold buttons, it's guaranteed to make you look as elegant as anyone having martinis in a ski lodge in St. Moritz right now. Pair it with the matching skirt, and you'll have yourself an après-ski glam outfit made in snow heaven.

According to @blakeevinn (the TikToker behind the video that catapulted the trend), you should be wearing a fur jacket wherever you go this winter—especially when you go out at night. And there's a reason this style is the number one statement jacket at Revolve RN. Not only has leopard print been trending since the fall, but leopard print coats in particular are *huge* right now (just ask Jennifer Lopez). This one puts a snowy twist on the print, and since it boasts a high collar and hook-and-eye closure, it should keep you nice and bundled.

These '80s-inspired brioche earrings are perfect for nailing the après-ski glam look. Made from the brand's vermeil material (which is basically a thick layer of 18-karat solid gold on sterling silver), they're supposed to last longer and give you the look of solid gold at a fraction of the price. While I think that's reason enough to scoop them up now, you should also know that these earrings (designed to mimic a knot) are just the right size to wear on the daily, so you're sure to get your money's worth.

lululemon said it best when it described these bottoms as having a "luxury look, lounge feel." And you can bet the brand thought of everything when designing the flared style—featuring a back drop-in pocket and wide, ribbed internal waistband—that reviewers say is soft and extremely comfortable. But I'll let one buyer tell it: "These are great, very soft, ribbed pants. They almost look like corduroy but much softer." What they didn't mention is that these high-waisted pants (made of recycled polyester, Lenzing modal and elastane) are also quick-drying, so you won't have to worry about getting caught in the snow.

7. Abercrombie & Fitch Faux Fur Coat

Abercrombie & Fitch

If you've been dreaming of a longer-length coat, look no further than this faux fur style, which is guaranteed to make you look extra glam this winter. With a fold-down collar, front pockets and a button-front closure, it strikes the perfect balance of posh and practical. Just read why one reviewer doesn't regret buying it: "This is a gorgeous coat! I was worried that it might be too long since it only comes in one length, but it ended up being perfect and hits a few inches below my knees (I'm 5'3" for reference). The coat is also true-to-size while still having some room to layer underneath."

While not every snow boot feels elevated enough to pair with a luxe fur coat, you can't go wrong with this chic Sorel style accented with criss-cross straps and cozy faux shearling. Boasting a textile lining and synthetic and rubber sole, you can bet they'll also take on the slush like a pro. One reviewer adds, "These are perfect, cold-weather shoes! They are not too bulky and super cute on. The color (honey white) is even prettier in person." Well then, I know which color I'm buying.

Another accessory that can make any ordinary outfit seem like you just stepped off the slopes in St. Moritz is a pair of fur-lined gloves. Take these lambskin leather beauties, for example, whose fox fur cuffs are a fashionista's dream come true. But they don't just look good—since they also boast a fleece lining, they're guaranteed to keep your hands nice and toasty to boot. In other words, as one reviewer says, they're "just an amazing pair of gloves any woman would be proud to own." That said, it wouldn't be a bad idea to scoop up an extra pair for your bestie, that way you can step out in après-Ski style together.

10. Show Me Your Mumu Ski Pullover

Show Me Your Mumu

Remember when I said that anything Fair Isle is fair game (no pun intended)? Well, this form-fitting pullover is the ultimate pick. Crafted from a slinky knit blend of viscose and polyester, the turtleneck top should keep your neck warm when venturing out in the frosty air, but not cause you to overheat when you're sipping cocktails by the fire. While the matching pants are not included, the design's neutral color scheme should make it easy to mix and match with your go-to knit bottoms—like, perhaps, the lululemon ones above?

No glamorous winter ensemble is complete without a bold red lip, so this famous Chanel lipstick in the bold red shade rouge charnel is a *must.* You see, red lipstick has a way of making anyone look extra glam, and unlike other options, this one is infused with shea butter and jojoba oil to ensure your lips don't get parched and flaky as the day goes on (as is common with many matte formulas). It also has ultra-fine pearlescent particles in it that add a luminous touch to keep the color from falling flat, so you don't have to worry about reapplying it over and over and over again. And I'd be remiss not to call out the sleek packaging. With an ultra-luxe exterior you'd expect from Chanel, each lipstick comes in a limited-edition black-and-white case with contrasting trim, so you'll get a small thrill every time you pull it out and pucker up.
