There are perfectly good celebrity style moments, and then there are the looks that really stick with you, the ones you try desperately to recreate at home. In ‘Great Outfits in Fashion History,’ Fashionista editors are revisiting their all-time favorite lewks.
Once the temperature turns cold or you decide to travel in search of icy weather this holiday season, it’s easy to fall into the frumpy and oversized silhouettes traditionally synonymous with warmth. After all, it’s a surefire way to keep the freezing air locked away from your skin. But functionality doesn’t have to sacrifice style, even when you’re standing in the middle of fresh powdery snow. Just ask Brigitte Bardot.
As the ultimate French Girl™ archetype, Bardot blessed the fashion crowd with endlessly inspiring winter outfits, particularly on the ski slopes. Whether she posed in extra-large circular sunglasses instead of regular sports goggles or expertly navigated the Alps in an extravagant fur coat and hat, the actor never failed to impress with her mountaintop looks.

For one 1963 resort ensemble in particular, Bardot effortlessly modeled a fuzzy textured hat with just enough room to let her famous blonde curtain bangs peek out, a perfectly fitted knit sweater, plaid ski pants, leather boots, gloves and black cat-eye sunglasses. All the pieces together are simple yet impactful, thanks to the well-tailored, chicly French elements that make the outfit so timeless.
If you’re looking to match Bardot’s elegant style yourself this winter, look no further than our top picks for sophisticated and classic — but still fun — ski (or après ski) apparel. Keep scrolling to shop them all, and see you on the slopes!
