As the birthplace of modern winter sports, Switzerland’s St. Moritz is arguably the most chic alpine destination in the world. From exhilarating Winter Polo tournaments to the party-fueled White Turf races—and the perilous art of tobogganing, which the Brits and Europeans navigate with effortless ease—there’s more than just skiing steeped in tradition here.
Editors Britney Eschelman and Megan Shelton immersed themselves in the glitz and glam of St. Moritz this winter, taking note of the impeccable on- and off-piste style paraded through the streets. (Hint: Ladies, it’s time to dust off your finest mink.) Here’s their guide to mastering après-ski chic in this ultra-affluent Swiss enclave.
Halfdays Aston Jacket
From $445
Americans are sporting Halfdays on the Swiss slopes. Whether you’re skiing for skill or style, this jacket has you covered for a full day out on the mountain, complete with a removable belted fit-and-flare waist, pass pocket with goggle wipe, and a helmet-friendly adjustable and removable hood. Megan opted for black, but pick one of the many colors that best suits you.
Halfdays Clare Lightweight Bamboo Top
From $95
Upon arrival at your après-ski destination, it’s time to slip out of your outerwear and don your most stylish base layer ensemble. Yet again, we opted for a Halfdays getup. This mockneck blends bamboo and merino wool, promising ultra-softness and breathability.
Halfdays Ruth Lightweight Bamboo Legging
From $95
Halfdays wants athletes to feel empowered to mix and match their baselayers as they choose. So, while the names might not suggest they’re a set, the Clare Top and Ruth Leggings are a perfect pair; expect the same cozy and breathable feel from these leggings as the top.
Moon Boot Icon Glance Platinum Satin Boots
From $250
Off the slopes, reach for a pair of Moon Boots. It doesn’t matter what season they’re from, the shoe’s silhouette is iconic all the same. If you’re anything like us, your base layers are pretty neutral, so this metallic colorway is sure to jazz up your look.
RIXO Milly Leopard-Print Faux Fur Coat
From $730
What did we say? Fur. Fur. Fur. Ladies (and gentlemen), St. Moritz is the perfect place to showcase your finest fur coat—not to blend in, but to stand out. This leopard-print full-length faux fur coat by RIXO London is guaranteed to turn heads while keeping you cozy and chic.
Polo Ralph Lauren Blue Bear Sweater
From $398
Ralph Lauren represents timeless luxury wherever you are. The Blue Bear Sweater adds a refined touch, offering both warmth and sophistication on and off the mountain. And if you’re heading to the toboggan races, it’s the perfect way to coordinate with friends—this was a crowd favorite when we tried it.
Enchanté Alpine Stripe Crewneck
From $110
Enchanté by Daniel Ricciardo is the epitome of cool après-ski apparel, in our opinion. The Alpine Stripe Crewneck features contrasting color detailing on the chest and sleeve stripes, with a pop of forest green and the cleverly placed collection name, ‘Enchanté Chalet,’ adding an extra touch of flair. Whether worn under your ski jacket or for a stylish jaunt around town paired with elevated loungewear, this piece is a standout.
Givenchy Ski Goggles
From $520
Slope style is taken seriously here, so make sure your snow gear is up to the task. These 4G ski goggles by Givenchy bring the perfect blend of performance and luxury. With their black-toned lens and frame, and the signature logo on the jacquard, they let your snowsuit shine while adding a touch of bling to your helmet.
Perfect Moment Polar Flare Jacket
From $695
While all of the official St. Moritz ski instructors are required to wear red jackets, there’s just something about this jacket that will set you apart. The slightly flared sleeves will fit any ski glove but are understated enough for an outdoor après event, while the bubble effect and slightly cinched waist are playful yet incredibly flattering.
Dolce Vita Auggie Boot
From $160
Nights out in Saint Moritz call for more than just flat walking shoes. While comfort and warmth are essential, you’ll want a little heeled touch to elevate your look. These Dolce Vita knee-high boots, with their sleek silhouette, are perfect for pairing with cozy layers and sweater dresses, or for creating a bold, trendsetting outfit with tights and mini shorts on a stylish evening.
