It’s officially November, and with Daylight Savings Time behind us, the days are getting shorter and darker—which can only mean one thing: winter is on the horizon.
For those who relish evenings by the fireplace with a glass of red wine or a steaming cup of hot chocolate, the chilly air settling over much of the Northeast (and here in Paris, where I’m writing from) feels like a welcome embrace.
But for anyone who doesn’t crave cozy nights or alpine adventures, winter can feel less enchanting. Still, there’s one silver lining that even the frost-averse can appreciate—the fashion.
As a New Yorker who owns far too many jackets and firmly believes that the coat is the outfit, I can attest that the right piece of outerwear—or a sumptuous knit—has the power to turn even the gloomiest winter day into something special.
This season, our favorite designers continue to deliver winter capsules brimming with luxe, mountain-ready style. From the streets to the slopes, fashion has never felt more at home in the cold.
Balenciaga Embraces the Slopes With Its New Skiwear Collection
Balenciaga joins the winter wave with its latest Skiwear Collection, which debuted yesterday. The line fuses high-performance sportswear and athletic design with Balenciaga’s signature edge, offering pieces that strike a balance between technical innovation and luxury aesthetics.
Alongside performance gear, there’s also a nod to the playful side of winter—yes, we’re talking après-ski. Of course, no winter capsule would be complete without statement accessories, and Balenciaga doesn’t disappoint.
Fan-favorite silhouettes such as the Rodeo and Le City bags return this season, reimagined in shearling-lined calfskin and fleece-trimmed suede. The collection’s fur-accented outerwear complements the bags perfectly, completing a head-to-toe ski-chic fantasy.
New campaign images showcase the collection in motion, gliding seamlessly from city streets to snow-covered peaks. Discover more and shop the collection now via Balenciaga.
