They’re Here: The Alpine Style Pieces You’ll See Everywhere This Winter

If your 2026 travel plans involve sipping a hot toddy on a snowcapped mountaintop at 5,000 feet with a fire roaring at your feet, you likely have destinations such as Aspen or Gstaad on your upcoming flight plan. For the winter getaway, naturally, ski gear is a requirement, but you’ll also want to make room for après-ski essentials to be outfitted in directional Alpine style.

With a ski trip coming up for myself this year, I’ve been thinking about what I’ll be packing into my suitcase and already have a short list of pieces that have caught my eye. The items on my radar include everything from Western-inspired belts with engraved metal buckles and cowboy hats to Fair Isle knits and jackets finished with fringe, as well as practical boots designed to withstand the elements. Ahead, shop my list of après-ski items to tap into Alpine style this season.
