The Après-Ski Jumper Trend That Makes You Look “I Own a Chalet” Rich

With the constant snowfall and icy evenings we’re currently experiencing in the UK, it certainly feels like we’re on the slopes.

And considering I’ve seen several of my favourite influencers on chalet trips recently, I feel now is the perfect time to try out the ski-girl aesthetic. I’m not going to lie to you—I’ve never been skiing and I’m in no way the sportiest of women (I’m much more likely to be found by the fireplace with a hot chocolate in hand than I exerting myself in the cold). But the alpine look is not solely for wearing whilst skiing—it’s actually a very chic trend I’m seeing playing out in the city, too.

What exactly is après-ski? Well, any item of clothing that combines the comfort, style and function needed when you’re at a ski resort. But unlike the more practical gear required for actual skiing, après-ski focuses on snug and comfortable clothing, usually themed around the mountain aesthetic. Think Nordic knits, Fair Isle jumpers and ski-themed slogan sweaters that don’t only keep you warm but also look extremely rich.
