This time of year my Instagram feed is filled with fashionable people hitting the slopes. Somehow they all look incredibly stylish as they wind through pine-lined, snow-capped mountains. Even those who dress for skiing just to sit in a hut and drink hot chocolate, look well dressed. As I ponder whether or not I should book a ski trip before the ice caps melt, I worry that my travels will require me to purchase a brand new luxury wardrobe just to fit in. After conducting thorough research, I am here to report that this is not the case.
My research led me to retailers like Free People and Nordstrom, where I discovered those ski clothes doesn’t have to break the bank. Below are 32 pieces under $300 that can help you build an excellent ski wardrobe.
These glasses will take you far.
