The mountain weekend is that magical moment of the year when you can enjoy the fresh air, drink a hot tea with a view at four in the afternoon and feel fashion even under a Down jacket. But let's admit it, packing the suitcase for the snow can throw anyone into crisis. Too cold? Too many layers? Stylish yes, but practical?
Breathe. Khloè’s got this! Here’s the definitive guide to the perfect suitcase for your mountain weekend, with warm, trendy outfits and that casual chic allure that works both on the ski slopes, in the city, or in snowy woods!
First unwritten rule of the mountains: thermal comfort comes first. But this doesn’t mean giving up style.
Bring with you at least 2-3 wool sweaters, preferably in natural or technical blended yarns.
Oversize, turtleneck or cable knit: they are perfect for the layering look and they work both with snow pants and a pair of jeans. Choose neutral colors (cream, gray, beige) and a statement (magenta, forest green, or deep black) to vary looks without overpacking your suitcase.
In the mountains, dressing “like an onion” is not an option, it’s a way of life.
• First layer: bring with you thermal shirts, leggings, and socks to wear under your outfits; they are real gems for keeping warmth during the day!
• Second layer: warm turtleneck or oversized sweater (Manila Grace and Twinset have super cozy options you will love!)
• Third layer: technical outerwear or Down jacket
The layering look allows you to adapt to temperature changes, moving from the slopes to the lodge without sweating or freezing.
Here we get to the heart ofelegant mountain clothing. The secret? Combining performance and design.
Forget the idea that the Down jacket should be only “functional.” Today there are fashion Down jackets that keep you warm, elongate the figure, and look great even away from the slopes.
Signed models like Patrizia Pepe, Elisabetta Franchi or Pinko are perfect for those looking for:
• protection from the cold
• technical materials
