Whether you’re slaloming in Switzerland or shoveling snow in your driveway, you’ll want to look sporty and chic when the temps dip. This is the time of year that often requires extra layers to protect against the elements, but that’s no reason just to throw on knits and puffers willy-nilly. No, for the slopes or the streets, there are boots, insulated and weatherproof jackets, beanies and more to look like a snow bunny even if you’re just operating the snowblower.
Whatever the forecast or your agenda, here’s our wintry mix of seasonal styles that will keep you dry, snug and sleek come rain, snow or sleet.
Pretty Puffers
A waterproof puffer is a winter essential, and these three don’t skimp on style. Wear them with ski pants at the hill, with leggings at the bar afterward and with a cute skirt around the ski village or on a chilly night out.

Top Hats
A knitted cap is a must during the chilly months. Even if you plan on wearing a helmet on the slopes (we recommend it, and have suggestions below), you’ll still want a cute topper to slip on when you’re back on even ground.
