In good news, you no longer need to be hitting the slopes to wear a suitably dramatic down jacket, rock a woolly hood or wrap youself in an XL scarf. With many of us laying low this month as we ride out the Omicron wave, thankfully these luxe pieces look just as good off piste as they do on. But if you are heading off to Val Thorens or Verbier for the annual ski week, why not go a little bit 1970s with your Alpine interpretation. We’re thinking Fair Isle, argyle and striking shades of red and mustard. It’s a winter look that’ll never date.
