My previous posts on ski related shopping are always very popular this time of the year – from the best sun ski protection, to the best boots for Winter, or apres-ski clothing.

This year, I had a couple of readers actually ask me for ‘real must haves’ for first timers – they weren’t going skiing themselves, but their families were. So here are my picks for items you really need on a mountain holiday – or when the weather is pretty cold at home.

 

Johnstons of Elgin cashmere scarf

From £100 or £200 depending on the size from Selfridges. This option from Nordstrom ($225) is also fab.

The word you are looking for here is ‘classic and timeless’ and they do these scarves beautifully on. variety of colours. Word out is that is Johnstons does all the Hermes cashmere blankets…

Uniqlo cashmere scarf

Now on sale for £39.99/$49.99 – click here for the large stoles (UK/Europe or USA) or normal sized scarves (UK/Europe).

I love these scarves for day to day and they are machine-washable too. They are unisex and we wear them pretty much every day. They are nice and soft and incredible value.

Falke ski socks

From £20 (they ship worldwide) and available for women, men and kids. Also see Falke’s cashmere blend range for women and men.

Arguably the best sock brand in the world (definitely our favourite at home for all types of socks which are handcrafted and do last), I love their ski range. It fit my feet (pun intended) like a glove and I have zero complaints. I do recommend them 100%.

Oversized roll neck cashmere jumper

Costs £995 from N Peal and comes in grey and red marl

Saks cashmere cardigan

From £170/$200 from Saks Off Fifth (and ships worldwide). If it appears sold out, check back as they have been restocking weekly. It is worth it.

I featured this cardigan in my Christmas list and I got more emails and photos of readers about it than anything else ever. I currently own the grey and ordered a new black one on a recent visit to California (oh the irony) and I love it. It works incredibly well anywhere in the world where it is cold.

 

Saks loose cashmere top

From £150 from Saks Off Fifth (and ships worldwide)

I had been looking for a nice chunky ‘loose’ cashmere jumper, and haven’t found it – but this is the best I could find and I bought it both grey and black. They are ‘loose’, i.e. not tight, which is a more relaxed fit (which I currently prefer!). I wear mine with a Uniqlo heattech top underneath when it really is cold. These jumpers are must have winter clothes for a ski holiday be that for apres ski or actual real life in the Winter!

Sorel Women’s Out N About Plus Tall Duck Boots

From £100 on Amazon UK,or $100 from Amazon USA

I still love my pair of Sorel Caribou, but these are much lighter – which makes them perfect for travel. The Caribou model weighs about 5kg each and obviously makes them super appropriate for blizzards, but I love the new Out N About Tall model, which is a remake of the previously named Caribou Slim boots. I have them in black and many of you noticed me wearing them in Innsbruck and Lake Tahoe.

For men, I would recommend the Sorel Cheyanne Chelsea boots (click here for UK or USA). Mr. O got a pair in grey and really liked them. And of course, the classic Caribou (click here for UK or USA).

We recommend you go up a half size on all your Sorel purchases.

Inuikii shearling boots

From £215 from MyTheresa or Nordstrom

I love love love my Inuikiis which were an Austrian discovery – I hadn’t come across this brand before, but saw it in a few select places since and they are absolutely recommended. Super warm, shearling lined and available in a huge selection of colours. They have what they call boots and sneakers – and it is a Swiss brand and they are perfect apres ski clothes.

 

Uniqlo Heattech base layers

Long sleeve tops from £10 (UK/Europe or USA), leggings from £14 for all the family (click here for UK/Europe Women’s range, Men and Kids and click here for USA Women’s range, Men and Kids).

Uniqlo has launched its heattech a few years ago – and I cannot recommend it enough. The items in questions – from long sleeve t-shirts, to turtle necks or leggings are now available in various degrees of heat technology and not only do they look like normal t-shirts/tops, they really are great for skiing as well. Or just walking around.

Also please have a look at the Heattech jeggings (click here for the USA) which are seriously very good.

Falke base layers or ‘functional underwear’

From £59 from Falke

Whilst I still love the icebreaker range, this was my discovery of the year – and I love them. At a different price point from Uniqlo, and very well made. I was very excited about the Sweaty Betty base layers… but mine survived 3 washes (which isn’t ok for the price paid). Available for all the family as Falke does not discriminate.

Herno cashmere down coat

From £900 from Matches Fashion, Harrods, Farfetch and Bloomingdales

I bought one sub zero tweet down jacket from Herno last year (which I wore in Innsbruck) and it is tested up to -30c so I am good to go. I also bought another lovely version earlier this season (completely sold out) which is a cashmere wool coal with the down inside and on the sleeves and bottom. It is graded for -10c and incredibly smart and fit for purpose.

I recommend Herno coats for both men and women – and it will be a process of elimination until you find yours. Mr. O has a cashmere navy coat which looks like a normal coat and all down padded inside. They are perfect winter clothes for ski holiday or for normal city life.

 

I hope you find this selection of winter clothes for a ski holiday useful and that you keep warm this winter.

The closest I will get to a ski slope this season. I didn’t quite believe when the weather forecast actually said it would snow - but waking up to it this morning was pretty special. It won’t last but it’s life. Walking around today for our ‘permitted 1h of exercise’ definitely allowed for a change in scenery. ⠀
When this is all over - where would you like to go? And guess mine 🥰
Another week, another table setting, because why not? We are on our 3rd week of lockdown and I’m finding it much harder than before. The motivation to cook is dwindling but has to be done. What are you planning to cook this week? We are having zaatar chicken thighs tonight, Cottage pie tomorrow and steak Wednesday. Leave a comment below so it may inspire someone else, please. Every little helps (and thank you!)
It’s the first #PrawnThursday of 2021 and deserves to be immortalised on the feed. Our fishmonger took a little break and now I can say, it feels like proper lockdown. (For background, we discovered this great fishmonger who comes to our door every Thursday in April last year and he’s definitely made our lockdowns much better). Do you like #prawns or not so much?

Very wise words by my dear friend @molly.schoneveld. They really struck a chord. Here’s to a good first week of 2021.
As 2020 comes to an end, it will certainly be a year we won’t forget, ever. It was tragic in more ways than others, but there were also silver linings.
