Après-Ski in Style
Mountain-bound this winter? Here are the looks you need.
We’re in the thick of ski season. This means sitting fireside, cozying up in a hot tub, and of course, actually skiing. As you might guess, this requires lots of outfit changes. That’s where South Coast Plaza comes in, as our roster of designers and labels are at the ready with the seasonal staples.
Designers like Armani Exchange and Balenciaga, both known for their ready-to-wear styles, have clued into the need for functional ski clothing that not only keeps you warm, but looks really cool, too. Alternatively, brands like Canada Goose and Porsche Design have transitioned some of their more technical styles into pieces that look great both on and off the slopes. Speaking off of the slopes, it wouldn’t be a ski trip without all the cozy-comfy pieces you love to wear when you’re not riding the lifts. Our favorite designers, like Thom Browne, Loewe and Saint Laurent, offer on-trend gloves, scarves, and of course big, puffy coats that’ll have you stand out from the other ski bunnies. So go ahead and get your layering game in order with these winter-perfect essentials.
