Mountain Getaway Style, Explained
East Coast Style:
New England ski style is all about the necessities. Organic and relaxed, it’s the type of place where jeans are considered formalwear.
Western Style:
A touch more elevated than out East, it’s sophisticated yet practical. Think finishing touches of suede and turquoise and fur, or a sweater dress paired with a concho belt for a night out.
Fashion Fundamentals:
Warm layers, cozy sweaters, and dark-wash jeans are the foundation for every look.

Our Top 5 Packing Tips
Coat Check
Bring two coats, one for the slopes and one for exploring the town.
Cashmere Call
Bring your turtlenecks, crewnecks, scarves, and socks in the softest knit we know.
Après All Day
Ski looks are stylish on and off the slopes. Just take off your coat and add a pair of sunglasses.
Dark Wash Spotlight
A pair of dark-wash jeans are a bit more polished and look good with every sweater you own.
Accessories Make It
Depending on where you are, change up your accessories to match your location.
Ready to explore? Here’s what to pack for everything from a day on the slopes to a night by the fire.
Skiing
A puffer, a turtleneck, and your ski pants are your ski uniform. A pop of red and a funky sweater make it a look you’ll want to repeat.
Après Ski
A roomy fair isle sweater is exactly what you want to pull on after a long day on the slopes. Pair it with a long puffer and leggings and just lounge.
Shopping Look
Winter whites done right. A pair of ecru denim paired back to a cozy sweater adds a brightness to your wardrobe that’s great for a shopping day.
Casual Evening Out
Dark wash jeans and a ribbed knit henley are essential base layers. Dress them up with chic boots, a touch of fur, and a clutch for a night with friends.
Dinner in the Village
A suede skirt, a tall boot, and a turtleneck is an easy outfit formula for a fancier dinner. A concho belt adds a touch of Western flair.
Cozy Night In
For recovery after long days on the slopes, a delicious cashmere set is just the thing. If you aren’t about a matching moment, pair the Jane pants with our best-selling Genevieve sweater.
FAQs
Why do we love a mountain getaway?

What’s the weather like?
It depends on where you are, but if you’re in a skiing you’ll need to layer up. Make sure to bring your long johns, flannel tights, an extra pair of gloves, and a warm hat are mandatory.
What are three things I have to pack for a trip to a mountain getaway?
The three non-negotiables? Your warmest jacket, snow boots, and lots and lots of layers.
