Not too long ago, a Redditor said that Lululemon wanted to drop an après-ski assortment, which generated greater than 550 upvotes — together with one from me. As a former Lululemon worker, I nonetheless costume in head-to-toe Lulu. And, as a Montanan, I’ve been carving down slopes since I used to be too quick to journey on curler coasters and waterslides. So, a post-mountain assortment from the activewear model is like music to my ears — and it makes good sense since Lululemon is legendary for making athleisure attire très stylish. Reddit might have been onto one thing as a result of I just lately found a semi-secret Lululemon Après-ski Shop with practically 300 objects — and it appears to be rising on daily basis.

I want I’d had a number of of those curated seems with me final week once I was snowboarding — and après-skiing — with Dolomiti Superski in Italy. Europe’s après-ski scene is equal elements fashion and Aperol. Whilst you can après-ski indoors, it’s way more enjoyable al fresco — which suggests your garments want to offer loads of heat. Lastly, I need to reiterate that you simply don’t need to ski or snowboard to take pleasure in slopeside socializing; half of the group at Big Sky’s “Peakside Pours” solely come for the dwell music and complimentary wine tastings. 

So, whether or not you’re a skier, a boarder, or just somebody who likes to have a superb time, under are 15 Lululemon garments and equipment I’m eyeing (and shortly shopping for) from the après-ski store, from heat winter coats to cozy leg heaters.

Coats and Jackets

Featherweight 900-down-fill Puffer Jacket

It could appear counterintuitive, however the increased the fill-power, the lighter the jacket. In truth, this 900-down-fill puffer is principally a toasty heat wearable cloud. One shopper who left a rave assessment even calls it their “comfortable place.” However not like a cloud, this puffer doesn’t maintain moisture. It’s water-repellent, so that you don’t want to fret about snow flurries or spills. (Accidents can occur even whereas après-ing; final week I by accident dumped a glass of wine on my journey author pal Todd Plummer.) One other huge promoting level? It packs down right into a small pouch that clips into one of many hand pockets. 

Pack It Down 700-fill Jacket

I additionally love Lululemon’s best-selling (it has greater than 500 five-star scores) Pack It Down 700-Fill Jacket for après as a result of it has a slimmer match that enables me to put on it beneath my ski shell. So, if I’m going straight from the slopes to socializing, all I’ve to do is take away my outer layer for this stylish look. In truth, one happy shopper goes as far as to name it a “timeless piece.” Options embrace a zip-off hood, hand pockets with a hidden sleeve for a bank card or resort key, and a stuff sack; when compressed, this jacket takes up about as a lot baggage area as a water bottle. 

Snow Warrior 600-down-fill Parka

It truly rained on us within the Dolomites, so I may have used this waterproof parka. The seams are sealed so not a single drop of moisture seeps by means of, and 5 zippered pockets preserve your necessities dry. The Snow Parka — which has greater than 300 five-star scores — can be an awesome après possibility as a result of it has inside straps so you possibly can put on it like a backpack for those who get too toasty, and the fleece collar can be detachable. “It positively saved me heat in 0-degree Fahrenheit [weather],” wrote one shopper who acquired this parka for journeys to Canada and Colorado. Sadly, it doesn’t pack down like the opposite two jackets; nevertheless it’s an extended size that covers your bum making it good for pairing with leggings. 

Heat Leggings

Quick and Free Excessive-rise Thermal Tight 28”

After carrying ski pants all day, I like après-ing in form-fitting leggings. Granted, I don’t need to freeze to dying which is why I’m drawn to Lululemon’s Quick and Free Excessive-rise Thermal Tights. They’re made from a thick (however not too cumbersome) recycled polyester that insulates higher than conventional leggings. One shopper wrote that they even “held up nicely on a snowy 8-mile run in 18-degree Fahrenheit climate.” I’m additionally a giant fan of all of the pockets: 5 to be actual. On the lookout for a cropped choose or an possibility for those who’re on the shorter facet? These tights are also available in a 25-inch length. 

Fleece Excessive-rise Working Tight 28” 

Whereas the Fleece Excessive-rise Working Tights don’t have as many pockets because the Quick and Free Thermal Tights, they’re made from nylon, in order that they’re higher at repelling water. Select from six colours together with 4 classics and two trending colours: Ripened Raspberry and Riverstone. And whereas they’ve “operating” of their title, you don’t should be coaching for a marathon for them to turn into your go-to bottoms. “Nice for any out of doors exercise on their very own or as a base layer!” wrote one shopper.

Add some severe oomph to your après actions with these Satin Shine Excessive-rise Tights. “They’re so glossy I preserve rubbing my legs to really feel the satiny cloth,” wrote one shopper who says in addition they match completely and provides a easy silhouette. And simply because they flip heads, it doesn’t imply you possibly can’t work out in them. Like most Lululemon leggings, these tights are sensible and technical. They boast a again drop-in pocket, four-way stretch, and a contact of Lycra in order that they don’t lose their form. 

Sweaters, Sweatshirts, and Extra Prime Layers

Alpaca Wool-blend Cardigan Sweater

In the case of wool, I’ve all the time worshipped cashmere. However the extra I find out about alpaca wool, the extra I feel I may convert. Like cashmere and Merino, alpaca is of course odor-resistant and helps regulate your physique temperature (so that you don’t freeze or overheat). Buyers say Lululemon’s Alpaca Wool-blend Cardigan Sweater is simple to decorate up or down, and in relation to shifting between après venues, it helps to have a flexible layer. Select from two colours, Pink Mist and Heathered Core, and count on an “exaggerated” (i.e. subtly outsized) match.

Lululemon’s Maintain Tight Boatneck Lengthy-sleeve Shirt speaks to me for après-ski as a result of it seems prefer it could possibly be a wardrobe staple of the late, nice Audrey Hepburn — an avid skier and large fan of boatneck tops. After being bundled up all day on the mountain, I like exhibiting a bit pores and skin, even when it’s simply my collarbone. Whereas I’m accustomed to most of Lululemon’s signature materials, this shirt is made from one thing I haven’t encountered but: Lenzing Modal. It’s a cloth derived from beech tree pulp that’s tremendous delicate and comfy.

Reversible Crossover Sweater

Get two seems for the value of 1 by way of Lululemon’s Reversible Crossover Sweater. With its pillowy sleeves and boxy silhouette that one shopper stated “drapes superbly,” it’s good for après-ing in dressier locations like Aspen and St. Moritz. One facet of the sweater has a conventional hem size, whereas the opposite (tastefully) exhibits a bit pores and skin by way of a tapered minimize. It’s positively a singular piece that Lululemon has by no means provided earlier than. However it has 260 five-star scores, so I count on it to remain in circulation.  

Scuba Outsized Funnel-neck Half Zip Velvet 

A part of Lululemon’s signature Scuba Collection, this funnel-neck half zip has an enormous following regardless of being a comparatively new drop. “It’s the right mix of cozy and stylish!” wrote one shopper whereas others say they’ll’t put on it out with out receiving compliments. Made from a luxe, velvety cloth, it’s ultimate for fancier après institutions. That stated, it’s extraordinarily sensible. The excessive neck retains drafts out, the kangaroo pocket protects valuables, the thumbholes present further hand heat, and the zipper pull can be utilized as a ponytail holder.

In the meantime, the adjustable hem lets you customise the match, and the zippered hand pockets preserve necessities protected. Notice: many consumers say to measurement down.   

Wundermost Extremely-soft Nulu Turtleneck Bodysuit

I hate when tops creep up, particularly in chilly climate, which is why I’m slowly (however absolutely) opening as much as the concept of bodysuits. Lululemon’s Wundermost Extremely-soft Nulu Turtleneck Bodysuit is interesting as a result of it has snaps that “make toilet breaks a breeze,” and the material is brushed — which means the fibers are combed in order that they’re fluffier. “It’s probably the most comfy bodysuit I’ve skilled,” wrote one shopper who wears it with denims, leggings, and skirts. 

Equipment

Wunder Puff Mittens

Joyful hour with chilly palms might be depressing, which is why I’d by no means après with out these Wunder Puff Mittens. Sure, they’re dear, however you get what you pay for. The water-repellent, windproof shell is insulated with 600-fill-power goose down, and the cuffs might be cinched to lock in heat.
