21
items Before the first real snowfall, it pays to know what you will actually wear in the lodge, on a snowy main street, or on a snow day at home. These après-ski outfit pieces cover every layer from thermal leggings to waterproof snow boots, with fleece, c...
This is the hoodie I reach for when the forecast says snow and I still have to walk the dogs. The Therma-FIT fleece is thick, the zippered kangaroo pockets keep my phone safe, and the oversized fit leaves room for a thermal layer underneath.
Nike ACG "Tuff Fleece" Pullover Hoodie
A real snow boot that does not look like one, which is why it works for both the shoveling and the lodge patio. It is waterproof, has 100g of insulation and a molded rubber outsole, so slush stops being a reason to cancel plans.
Sorel Tivoli IV Boots
Mittens keep fingers warmer than gloves because they share the heat, and these have a brushed inside that feels like a blanket. I keep a pair in the coat pocket so a surprise cold snap never catches me out.

The mock neck covers just enough of my throat that I skip a scarf on short walks to the car. It runs oversized and long, so it layers over leggings for a lodge-lounge look that still feels pulled together.

Plush high-pile fleece gloves with adjustable cuffs are the closest thing to wearing a teddy bear on your hands. I would pull these on for sledding or a long snowy dog walk when regular knit gloves stop cutting it.
Nike Therma-FIT High-Pile Fleece Gloves
These are my first layer under snow pants or tucked into boots. The Therma-FIT fabric traps body heat, there is a back pocket for a lift ticket or keys, and reviewers say to size up, which matches how I shop Nike tights.
Nike One Therma-FIT High-Waisted Full-Length Leggings
For the walk from the car to the ski lodge fire, these sheepskin-lined suede boots feel like slippers you can wear outside. They are best for cold, dry snow days and cozy town strolls rather than deep slush.
UGG Classic Micro Boots
A classic cable knit is the safest bet for a winter dinner after a day outside. It is cozy enough to wear alone by the fire and roomy enough that a thin thermal top fits underneath without feeling tight.
Signe Cable-Knit Sweater
Windproof fleece is what you want on a chairlift or a gusty lakefront walk, and this one has an oversized fit with zippered pockets. It doubles as the outer layer on mild snowy days and a warm mid-layer on truly cold ones.
Nike ACG USA Women's Therma-FIT ADV Windproof Full-Zip Fleece Jacket
This smooth, drapey quarter zip is my pick for the thin layer under a coat or fleece jacket. It does not bulk up, the zip lets me vent when a lodge gets warm, and the sandwashed finish feels soft against the skin.
Athleta Seasoft Quarter Zip
Leg warmers over leggings and tucked into boots are the easiest après-ski styling trick. They add a chunky knit texture and cover the gap where cold air sneaks in at the ankle during snowy errands.
Whistler Leg Warmers
The brushed, soft inside is what makes these a true winter legging, and the pockets hold a phone or lip balm on the way to the lift. They come in short, regular and long inseams, which helps them sit right inside snow boots.
OFFLINE By Aerie Warmup High Waisted Pocket Legging
A full zip is the easy choice when you are going in and out of the cabin all day, because you can open it up by the fireplace without pulling anything over your head. The classic length and relaxed fit sit nicely over leggings.
OFFLINE By Aerie Cloud Fleece Classic Full Zip Sweatshirt
Those puffy, insulated boots are the ones I would wear for an actual snow day with the dogs. They are waterproof, light, and easy to pull on, so no wrestling with laces when someone needs to go out right now.
Sorel Out N About IV Puffy Insulated Waterproof Boots
A waffle-knit beanie adds texture to a plain fleece outfit and comes in a few fun colors like green, red and Royal Berry. It is inexpensive enough to keep one in every coat and one in the car for surprise snow.
OFFLINE By Aerie Waffle Beanie
A heavyweight crew with a water-repellent finish, ribbed cuffs and hem that seal in warmth. I like it as a mid-layer on snow days because the roomy cut layers over a long sleeve without feeling tight in the shoulders.
Nike ACG "Tuff Fleece" Crew-Neck Sweatshirt
Wide-leg fleece trousers are what I would change into after the slopes or the sled hill, since they hold their shape and feel like pajamas. They come in short and long lengths, so they hang right over a pair of cozy socks.
OFFLINE By Aerie Cloud Fleece Trouser
Thin, midweight gloves with touchscreen fingertips are the ones I wear when I need to take photos in the snow or check my phone. The textured palm grips a leash or a coffee cup, so they are handy for everyday winter errands.
Nike Pacer Women's Therma-FIT Running Gloves
The part of snow day nobody talks about is changing out of wet boots. These woven wool-blend slipper socks are what my feet want to land in, and they look cute enough to wear in front of a cabin fireplace.
Woven Wool Blend Slipper Socks
Baggy fleece joggers in ten colors are the comfy half of a snow-day outfit, with an optional foldover waistband and a roomy leg that fits over a thermal layer. Pair them with the mockneck for a matching, cozy look.
OFFLINE By Aerie Cloud Fleece Baggy Jogger
Fair Isle is the print that says ski trip without a ski suit. I would wear this with simple black leggings and boots so the pattern does the talking in lodge photos and holiday card shots.
