This time of year, my Instagram feed is filled with fashionable people hitting the slopes. Somehow, all of them look incredibly stylish as they swerve through pine tree–lined, snowy mountains. Even those who dress for skiing just to sit in a cabin and drink hot chocolate look well-dressed. As I contemplate whether or not I should book a ski trip before the ice caps melt, I worry that my travels will require me to purchase a brand-new luxury wardrobe just to fit in. After doing some thorough research, I'm here to report that's not the case.
My research has led me to retailers like Free People and Nordstrom, where I've discovered that skiwear doesn't have to break the bank. Below, find 32 under-$300 pieces that can help you build out an excellent ski wardrobe.
