What to Pack For a Trip to Aspen, From Puffer Coats to Snow Pants

On a recent trip to Aspen, Colorado, a tour guide explained that people often "visit in the winter, stay for the summer, and never leave." It was my first time in Aspen, but after just a few days taking in all the sights and sounds of the popular ski resort town, it was easy to understand the intoxicating phenomenon the tour guide was describing. From the picturesque snow-capped mountains to the quaint downtown shopping district that looks like a scene straight out of a snowglobe, there's plenty to see and do. Fashion-wise, getting ready to hit the Aspen slopes calls for the quintessential après-ski ensemble, while relaxing fireside at The St. Regis Aspen Resort - with a hot chocolate in hand, naturally - might involve a cozy cashmere sweater paired with chic winter boots.

Since Aspen is bursting with activities that will keep you as booked and busy as you want, make sure that your wardrobe includes a range of warm basics, practical layers, and a couple dressier pieces. Variety is the name of the fashion game when you're putting together your packing list for Aspen. The more mileage you can get out of a particular garment (like a fitted turtleneck that works underneath a dress or on its own with tailored trousers), the better. Also, bear in mind the time of year: During the cold weather months - think November to February - it's especially important to pack as much outerwear as possible. One pro tip? Layer a thinner jacket underneath a thicker puffer when you board the plane. This way, you save room in your luggage and still have multiple coats to choose from.

No matter what your agenda has in store, keep reading for what to wear and what to do in Aspen.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
