  Sexy Back! Heat up the ski slopes in this seasons ski-chic must-haves.
  
     
 

 
Whether you’re hitting the slopes in Aspen or cozying up fireside in Beaver Creek or St. Mortiz, this season’s snow bunny garb will keep you looking chicer than ever.

From head to toe the key to ski-chic is all about creative layering. The last thing you want to look like is your 4 year-old cousin, Lilly, in a one-piece poly snowsuit.

Whichever destination you are heading to, make sure your ensemble presents a mix of sexiness, a dollop of fun and a healthy portion of panache.
 
     
Get your ‘off-the-slope’ look straight, by pairing a chunky belted anorak with skinny mini denim; a sumptuous flowing cashmere sweater and form fitted knee-high boots. The alternating proportions are both flattering on the figure and stimulating for the eye. Then, attract attention upward with a spirited pair of fox fur earmuffs, which are a super warm alternative to the pompom hat that so often leaves your coifs looking flattened and squashed.
     
 
Choosing the right anorak to carry you from ensemble to ensemble is crucial. The jacket award of the season goes to the Danish design team Munthe plus Simonsen, the high collared, multi-belted, putty colored number hits all the right places with subtle sporty elegance.
 
     
   
     
 

Not going to Copenhagen anytime soon? No worries, the always timely website net-a-porter.com makes online shopping and ordering from the comfort of you Frette-sheeted bed a cinch. As for the skinny mini jeans it pays to get your buttocks in gear and slip into a few pairs to ensure the perfect fit. For this look, the skinnier the fit, the better, this year’s favorites include: Siwy, J Brand, and Earnest Sewn and are sure to keep you headed in the right direction. For the comfy cozy element in your ensemble a stand out sweater goes a long, long way.

With so many beautiful cashmeres on the market it’s a tough call but you know your safe with the ever-luxurious Lutz and Patmos collection. Guest designer Christy Turlington is back as the company re-isssues the Lotus Cape for spring. Snag yours now and be the only snow bunny wearing it on the slope - lutzandpatmos.com.

  
     
 

 
Now to the most difficult decision of all, which of the amazing boots available right now do you make your own? It is safe to say that Uggs have taken a backseat in favor of a sleeker and more streamlined silhouette. So opt for choices such as, NDC’s hand-made biker style, Michael Kors’ suede and shearling knee-highs, Christian Louboutin’s Love Story wedges, or good ol’ stand by Frye’s.

Whichever you choose, these boots are made for walking. And no one will be strutting it better than you
