Endless Winter: Style
Frosty Duds
From technical clothes for sport to chic outfits for dinner, here's how to dress like a local
By Peter Oliver


The Arc'teryx Gothic Cardigan, Napapijri Ferreira corduoy pants, Bohlin belt buckel, Stone Canyon belt, Marmot's White Heat gloves, and Cloudveil's Koven Jacket (Clay Ellis; buckle and belt from Nathalie, Sante Fe)

The MARMOT White Heats ($125) raise the bar on waterproof gloves, with grippy, non-absorbent leather palms, pre-bent fingers, and hidden pockets for chemical warmers or lunch money. CLOUDVEIL's Koven Jacket ($365) is a new breed of moisture-shedding shell (made of Cloudburst Stretch SVE3) that's soft, flexible, and plenty breathable. The Gore-Tex LAFUMA ProPant ($199) has removable elastic suspenders, full-length side zippers, scuff guards on the knees, and breathable interior gaiters.

Gravis' Cirque slip-on boots, Mountain Hardwear's Ozone jacket, Patagonia's R.5 base-layer crew, and the Gore-Tex Lafuma Propant (Clay Ellis)

The Gothic Cardigan ($200) from ARC'TERYX fuses Italian wool and fleece in a zip-up sweater with a simple yet functional cut. Raise your glass of chianti to the relaxed fit, thick wales, and blissfully soft inside seams of the Italian-made NAPAPIJRI Ferreira corduroy pants ($116). The urbane, all-leather GRAVIS Cirque slip-on boots ($95) have aggressive tread and moisture-wicking linings.

Made of Polartec Wind Pro fleece, the MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR Ozone jacket ($125) blocks chilly gusts, is highly breathable, and resists moisture but not envious glances. Thanks to a polyester weave with a smidgen of spandex, PATAGONIA's R.5 base-layer crew ($65, in men's and women's sizes) improves wicking and insulation with elasticized comfort.
