Come winter, we find ourselves aimlessly dreaming of snowy mountain escapes; the fresh, untouched snow after a raging blizzard, the coziness of an evening snuggled up in a ski chalet, the spiked hot chocolate on tap. With so many stressors that accompany the holiday gifting season, our minds can’t help but drift to places of respite and peace – even if our budgets don’t warrant the flexibility to jet off to Aspen at a moment’s notice. Luckily, TikTok’s hottest winter trend is designed to help us infuse more après-ski vibes into our day-to-day – whether it be in our wardrobe, home, or even beauty cabinet. Here’s what to know:
What Is TikTok’s Après-Ski Trend?
Aptly dubbed “après-ski core,” this trend pulls inspiration from the mountain lifestyle, with products that’ll make you feel as if you’ve been transported straight to the ski slopes or lodge – no lift pass necessary. The après-ski craze offers a more elevated take on the classic skiing aesthetic; think less bulky snow pants and boots, more contoured ski suits and regal Zhivago hats. Warm, rustic home accents are a staple within the trend, as well as nourishing beauty products that work to remedy dry skin.
Best of all, many brands are unveiling their own après-ski collections, making it even easier to shop the trend. H&M and Forever 21 just debuted their own ski clothing capsules, complete with everything from edgy ski goggles to luxurious ski jumpsuits. Scarlett Johansson’s The Outset brand launched a dedicated après-ski bundle, with skin-care products that are primed for brisk winter weather, like barrier balms and serums. And even Pottery Barn has ski season on the brain, with a bevy of new decor essentials that range from embroidered pillows to ski lodge doormats.
