Winter Style: Retro Après-Ski Vibes

'Après' or 'Après Ski' has easily become one of the trendiest styles this winter. Before it became a chic trend though, it was really just meant to describe the time spent after a day on the ski hills (hopefully by a nice cozy fire, sipping a warm alcoholic beverage - see my post here for the perfect après ski drink). And now brands have dedicated themselves to coming up with the best clothing and accessories so you look incredibly stylish while celebrating the end of your day on the slopes...or just want to skip the slopes entirely and go straight for those après drinks!

I was doing some shopping at Queensborough Landing in New Westminster over the holidays, and came across this beautiful sweater and toque at the Tommy Hilfiger Outlet that to me just screamed vintage après ski vibes. Sooo so cozy, and I love that they're in the classic TH colours. Turns out, I actually had some TH socks at home that I picked up on Boxing Day a few years ago, so I added those to the look too. The nice thing about Tommy Hilfiger, is that if you buy things in their signature blue, red and white colours, you can easily add new, coordinating items over the years.

In case you hadn't noticed...I'm not exactly on a ski slope in the photos below. Sadly, I haven't had a chance to hit the slopes yet this winter, so for the purposes of showing you this outfit, we had to settle for the local skating rink instead!

If you're planning on hitting the slopes this winter (or just enjoying the 'après' cocktails), I've linked up more of my favourite (affordable) après ski styles at the end of this post.!
