The Kids In Crisis Après-Ski Soirée is just around the corner, and it’s time to start thinking about what you’ll wear to this elegant and cozy event, on Friday, February 28 at The Loading Dock at 6:30pm. This year’s theme is all about the chic sophistication of an alpine escape, inspired by European ski resorts and luxurious mountain lodges. Forget the gaudy neon of the ’80s ski slopes – we’re aiming for classy après-ski vibes with a modern twist.

Join Gala Co-chairs Lacy Carroll, Elizabeth Kelly, and Caroline Sutton as they unveil the official Kids In Crisis Après-Ski Soirée Attire Guide. Here’s everything you need to know to look fabulous while embracing the theme:
.
Luxury Meets Comfort
Après-ski is as much about feeling cozy as it is about looking refined. Look for pieces that combine comfort with polish, ensuring you’ll look stunning and feel at ease throughout the night.
.
Alpine-Inspired Chic
Incorporate subtle nods to the alpine theme with classic patterns like houndstooth, fair isle, or tasteful plaids. Velvet, cashmere, and wool fabrics add a touch of elegance and warmth.
.
Monochrome and Neutral Palettes
Stick to neutral tones like white, cream, beige, black, and gray, or opt for rich alpine hues such as deep burgundy, forest green, or midnight blue. Avoid bright neon colors to maintain the sophisticated tone of the evening.
.
Stylish Accessories
- Boots: Elegant ankle boots or sleek knee-highs for women; polished leather boots or dress shoes for men.
- Scarves: Think oversized cashmere scarves or faux fur stoles for a luxurious touch.
- Hats: A chic beret or a stylish wool fedora is perfect for the après-ski look.
.
Cozy Yet Glamorous Dresses
Women can opt for knit or sweater dresses, midi lengths with long sleeves, or even an evening jumpsuit paired with an elegant wrap. Add a touch of sparkle with statement jewelry or metallic accents.
.
Tailored and Polished Menswear
For men, think turtlenecks paired with a fitted blazer or a tailored coat. A well-cut wool or cashmere sweater over a crisp dress shirt also fits the theme. Pair with dark trousers and leather shoes.
.
Faux Fur and Sleek Outerwear
Outerwear plays a significant role in après-ski fashion. Faux fur coats, shearling-lined jackets, or sleek wool coats elevate your look. Capes or shawls with a luxurious texture are a great alternative for women.
.
Glamorous Ski-Lodge Details
This theme is the perfect excuse to add a touch of glitz! Consider metallic accents, crystal embellishments, or sleek, minimalist jewelry to enhance your outfit without going overboard.
.
A Final Touch
Après-ski style is polished, comfortable, and effortlessly chic – the perfect blend of sophistication and alpine charm. Don’t be afraid to experiment with textures, layers, and accessories that make you feel like you’ve stepped straight out of a luxurious mountain retreat.
