The Ultimate Ski Style Guide for Winter 2026–2027

From statement ski jackets to elevated après-ski essentials, consider this your guide to getting dressed for the mountains.

Ski season is officially on the horizon, and if there's one thing we love as much as a fresh snowfall, it's a great winter wardrobe.

Whether you're planning a week in Aspen, spending the holidays in Steamboat Springs, or escaping to the mountains for a long weekend, what you pack matters. And while staying warm is always a priority, there's no reason your ski wardrobe can't look just as good as it performs.

For winter 2026–2027, we're embracing a mix of timeless alpine style, statement outerwear, and elevated essentials that take you effortlessly from first chair to après-ski.

Here's everything we're loving for the season ahead.

01. Invest in a Statement Ski Jacket

A great ski jacket is the foundation of any mountain wardrobe.

This season, it's all about outerwear that makes an impression without sacrificing performance. Think sleek silhouettes, flattering fits, thoughtful details, and pieces you'll look forward to wearing year after year.

For a polished, fashion-forward look, Goldbergh delivers statement ski wear with a distinctly luxurious feel. Perfect Moment brings a playful, retro-inspired edge to the slopes, while Rossignol combines technical performance with timeless alpine style.

Whether you're drawn to a fitted ski jacket or an oversized puffer, choose something that feels like you. After all, your outerwear is the one piece everyone sees.

The SBNY styling tip: Pair a statement jacket with simple, streamlined ski pants for an effortlessly pulled-together look.

02. Master the Art of Layering

The secret to looking chic on the mountain? Great layers.

The best ski outfits start with quality base layers that provide warmth without unnecessary bulk. Fitted thermal tops, sleek leggings, and comfortable midlayers are essential for staying comfortable throughout the day.

But functionality doesn't mean compromising on style.

We're especially loving monochromatic layering this winter. An all-black ski outfit always feels sophisticated, while winter whites and creamy neutrals offer a fresh take on classic mountain dressing.

For something a little more playful, incorporate a pop of red, an unexpected print, or a statement knit.

The goal is simple: pieces that work together on the slopes and look just as good when the jacket comes off.

03. Ski Pants Deserve Just as Much Attention

A great pair of ski pants can completely transform your look.

While jackets tend to get all the attention, the right ski pants are equally important. From tailored, fitted silhouettes to relaxed technical styles, finding your perfect fit makes all the difference.

For a more elevated look, opt for streamlined ski pants that create a clean silhouette. Pair them with a fitted jacket for a coordinated outfit, or balance them with an oversized puffer for something a little more relaxed.

Classic black is always a safe bet, but tonal looks in cream, chocolate, and other winter neutrals feel especially chic.

And don't forget to prioritize the details that matter on the mountain: weather protection, mobility, and comfort.

04. Après-Ski Is a Dress Code of Its Own

Let's be honest. Half the fun of ski season happens after the lifts close.

Whether you're heading to an outdoor après party, grabbing cocktails with friends, or wandering through town, après-ski dressing has become an essential part of mountain style.

The formula? Cozy textures, statement outerwear, and just the right amount of glamour.

Think plush faux-fur jackets from APPARIS, elevated knits, comfortable leggings, and statement winter boots. Add oversized sunglasses and a great beanie, and you're ready for whatever the afternoon brings.

And the best part? You don't actually have to ski to participate.

The SBNY styling tip: Keep your après look simple. A fitted black outfit, an oversized faux-fur jacket, and a pair of Moon Boots make an easy statement.

05. Don't Forget the Accessories

The finishing touches are what make an outfit feel complete.

This winter, we're all about accessories that combine practicality with personality. Think cozy beanies, warm gloves, statement sunglasses, and boots that can handle snowy streets without compromising your outfit.

Moon Boot continues to be a favorite for its unmistakable après-ski aesthetic, while classic winter accessories in neutral tones can be worn with almost anything.

When packing for a ski trip, focus on versatile pieces you can mix and match throughout the week.

Sometimes the smallest details make the biggest impact.

06. Build a Ski Wardrobe You'll Wear Beyond Vacation

The best winter pieces aren't reserved for one ski trip.

A beautifully made puffer can become your everyday cold-weather jacket. A great knit works just as well in the city as it does in the mountains. And elevated base layers are perfect for everything from winter walks to weekend getaways.

Rather than chasing every trend, invest in pieces that balance style, quality, and versatility.

Brands like Bogner, Goldbergh, Perfect Moment, and Rossignol offer distinct approaches to mountain dressing, making it easier to find pieces that fit your personal style.

A well-curated winter wardrobe should feel effortless, wherever the season takes you.

07. Make It Your Own

If there's one thing to remember this ski season, it's that great style is personal.

Maybe you're all about a head-to-toe matching ski set. Maybe you prefer an understated black outfit with one statement accessory. Or maybe après-ski is your favorite part of the entire trip.

Whatever your approach, the best mountain wardrobe is one that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and ready for anything.

Because ski style should be just as fun as ski season itself.
