Whether you’re a zealous skier or prefer to take in the Alpine views from the comfort of your chalet, packing a capsule wardrobe of on point, all-purpose threads can be tricky. If you’re heading to Gstaad, Courchevel, or St. Moritz, inject color into your capsule wardrobe with of-the-moment puffer cover-ups and fur-detailed snowsuits. When you’re not perfecting your snowboarding moves, turn to retro knits, metallic sweaters, and textured accessories that are fit for an evening in the hilly village. Vogue Arabia preps three looks for on and off the slopes to pack pronto.

Chalet-Bound
High-endurance activities are a no-no for you? Cozy up by the fire or take in the picturesque mountainside backdrop on your chalet’s terrace with an outfit that translates to loungewear glamour. Think retro intarsia sweaters from Gucci paired with vibrant parkas in on-trend styles, and Balenciaga’s propositions of off-the-shoulder designs that work double duty for when you return back to the city. Should you decide to venture outdoors, sink your feet into the powder with contemporary snow boots from Nicholas Kirkwood. Meanwhile, elevate your backcountry wardrobe with elevated add-ons such as fur earmuffs that make a cool alternative to a bobble hat.
