What’s are some good ways to be stylish for a ski trip without breaking the bank?

Our Response

Dressing for a winter ski trip can be really hard as it feels like you have to spend a ton of money to A.) find pieces that’ll keep you warm and cozy, and B.) find pieces that don’t look frumpy and/or boring, as a lot of winter wear tends to be. 

This can be made especially difficult when it seems like, even at stores that are supposed to carry lower-priced items, the warmer you want to be, the more money you need to spend. (I’m looking at you, well-over-$100 puffer from a supposedly “budget-friendly” retailer!)

But, worry not, as I have put together three ski trip outfits that both look chic and are entirely made up of under-$90 pieces that won’t hurt your wallet!

Just keep scrolling to see them!

Affordable Ski Trip Outfit #1 

Products: Sweater – H&M, Socks (Set of two pairs) – Uniqlo, Leggings – Uniqlo, Jacket – Zara, Boots – DSW, Scarf – Uniqlo, Beanie – H&M, Mittens – Aritzia

For the first look, I decided to put together a practical-yet-fashion-forward outfit that will keep you warm and snug when you hit the slopes.

To begin, put on an oversized beige sweater over a pair of extra-warm pile-lined leggings.
