From a French Jumpsuit to Après-Ski Knits, Here's What I Wore in Aspen

I immediately gravitated toward Fusalp's Clarisse Ski Suit. I was initially drawn to the design because of its nod to nostalgic ski suits from the '70s and '80s—in fact, it was inspired by pieces from the Maison's archive. On the slopes, I also appreciated its one-piece design since no cold air or snow was able to get inside—something that can be an issue when wearing a jacket and pants. As the name suggests, it is very warm and kept me toasty on the slopes despite the 0°F temperatures.

I layered a turtleneck body shirt and leggings underneath the ski suit to provide an extra layer of warmth. The pieces were extremely soft and warm yet breathable. They were also very thin so it didn't add any unnecessary bulk underneath my ski suit.

For après ski, I built my look around Fusalp's Andromede sweater which incorporates a chevron pattern and tricolor appliqué that has been a symbol of the brand since 1952. I styled it with the Clea jacket, a piece constructed to wear on the slopes but the beautiful design makes it versatile to wear before and after. Every detail is stunning, including the soft faux-fur collar.

I styled the Clea jacket for another après ski look and incorporated yet another beautiful sweater. The Ancelle knit is finished with a ribbed fabric and turtleneck silhouette that can easily transition from ski to après ski.
