1. The Base Layer: Second Skin, First Priority

This is your foundation—think soft, breathable, and snug. What to look for:

Moisture-wicking fabrics like merino wool or silk

Seamless or flatlock stitching to avoid chafing

Neutral tones or minimalist prints for a clean, layered look

Maison Snow tip: Your base layer should be chic enough to wear solo in the chalet. We love pieces from Falke, Icebreaker, or Heist Studios for sleek silhouettes.

2. The Mid Layer: Function Meets Fashion

This is your insulation—designed to trap heat while adding structure. What to look for:

Lightweight down or fleece for warmth without bulk

Funnel necks or quarter zips for easy ventilation

Tailored fits that complement your outerwear

Maison Snow tip: A cashmere hoodie or knit vest can elevate your mid layer from basic to statement. Look for brands like &Daughter, Pangaia, or Cordova.

3. The Outer Layer: Protection with Personality

This is your barrier from the elements—and the most visible part of your look. What to look for:

Waterproof, windproof, breathable materials (GORE-TEX is your friend)

Statement shapes—think belted waists, high collars, cropped puffers

Sleek hardware and subtle branding for timeless appeal

Maison Snow tip: This is where fashion can shine. Opt for bold colours or vintage-inspired silhouettes from Fusalp, The North Face Purple Label, or Maison Snow Pre-Loved for one-of-a-kind finds.

4. Accessories: Small Touches, Big Impact

Never underestimate a well-curated accessory lineup. What to include:

Merino wool or cashmere beanies

Tech gloves that actually work

Oversized sunglasses or vintage goggles

A statement neck warmer or printed balaclava

Maison Snow tip: Mix textures—like shearling with nylon—to keep things visually interesting.

5. Layer Smart, Not Bulky

The key to good layering is fit. Every piece should slide comfortably over the next without restricting movement.

Our formula: Base (thin and fitted) + Mid (warm but slim) + Outer (roomy but tailored) = Style and comfort, all day long.
