Today, I focus on women’s ski and winter clothing. It’s the perfect “hint, hint” post – as in “Hint, hint, Honey. Santa can bring me any of these…”
Sweaty Betty: Bold Designs, Solid Construction
Sweaty Betty’s Mountain Climber Ski Merino Knit Top and Legging. New to the U.S, Britain’s Sweaty Betty offers high-end, technical running, yoga, workout, swim and ski clothes.
Infused with an offbeat sense of design and creative use of color, these wool layers are my new favorites. Made of double-weight, super soft merino wool (with a touch of Lycra), the Mountain Climber Ski Sweater is street worthy with jeans, skirts and boots. Even my sons like the skier motif.
The Mountain Climber leggings are like no other leggings I’ve tried.
Thick enough to pair with an après skirt for cross-country skiing, they are so comfy you might never want to take them off. Ski in them, run in them, lounge in them, I think I might even sleep in them when its super cold, or I’m napping on the couch. These aren’t your average base layers, but more like a beautiful sweater, for your legs.
Mountain Khakis: Practical Streetwear with Western Flair (Giveaway Details Below)
I’m no cowgirl, but I do love my new flannel shirt and fleece sweater from Mountain Khakis. Styled with just the right amount of western flair, I can channel my inner range-rider while looking comfortably casual at home.
Cache Creek Flannel Shirt: Super soft, rosy flannel makes me reach for this shirt whenever I feel a chill in the air. But my favorite detail is the floral print lining at the collar and cuffs which makes it unmistakably feminine.
A curved front and back yoke, whose lines are echoed in the front patch pockets, provide solid style, while the coordinating white stitching and buttons bring our the variations in the flannel fabric.
Old Faithful Sweater: A favorite from last season, Mountain Khakis is offering this sweater in two new colors this season: eggplant and oatmeal (yum, yum!).
Made of fleece, cleverly woven to look like a wool sweater, the Old Faithful is layer I reach for constantly, when I’m staying indoors or heading out.
Super warm, it layers well, and the black collar and cuff lining dresses it up. But my favorite detail? Buffalo Nickel buttons on the sleeves.
FERA: Flattering Ski Clothes, From Outerwear to Baselayers
A family run company from Hong Kong,my sister-in-law introduced me to FERA several years ago. This season, I tried several products from their extensive line. Well made, with classic designs and tailoring, these are flattering and functional ski clothes.
Please note, while I’ve included links to the FERA website, most of their sales are via retailers.
Lucy Pants: FERA started with stretch pants, and while they’ve left those days behind, their current ski pants line up is solid, clean and modern. I tried the Lucy pants, and found them as comfortable and flattering as well-fitting jeans. No slouch, just solid, classic tailoring and warm insulation.
Etna Jacket: A technical jacket with all the features you want (pit zips, RF ticket pocket, interior pocket, powder skirt, adjustable cuffs, detachable hood and weather-stopping construction), the Etna jacket builds on FERA’s reputation for tailored, slimming looks. The jacket fits slim, so I went up a size to leave room for bulky midlayers. Available in solid colors with contrasting reflective trim, I’m in love with the Cerulean blue.
Postcard and Kiss Me Sweaters: FERA’s sweater line is extensive, many with really cute alpine and Nordic designs. And while I’d happily wear all of them, my favorites this season are the Postcard Sweater and the Kiss Me Sweater.
An updated take on vintage ski style, the Postcard Sweater features a fun ski girl photo. The Kiss Me sweater is a bit more subtle, with a cute XOXO motif highlighted by an alpine flower. Both sport flat seams in contrasting colors and are made of lightweight, warm merino blend that washes up really well.
Soul Seamless Long Sleeve Crew: A base layer that is too cute cover up, I like the two-toned gray weave, the stretchy material and the side panel ruching, which flatters everyone. Good for skiing, running, yoga or just zipping around town.

Of course! Hope you get some pants or leggings! Cheers!
My kids love their Mountain Khaki pants.
That’s so great to hear! I haven’t tried the little pants…but they look like they are of super quality.
The leggings would be good for winter running too.
Great idea!
Would love a mini shopping spree at Mountain Khakis!
I think so! Good luck!
This would be wonderful this time of year, thanks.
Best of luck Denise!

Warm, comfy…isn’t that how winter clothes should be?

FERA makes really great stuff. I’m wearing the Kiss Me Crew today…and wore the Postcard skiing on Friday! Street to slope…I love that.
I could use those warm looking climber leggings!!
So cute, right?
We are in a winter weather advisory right now, so this would be perfect. Thank you
Jealous! We’re looking a a beautiful December 1 day with no snow possible for another couple of days. I love winter weather advisories!
FERA’s Etna Jacket in Cerulean Blue
Great coat, right?
The Mountain Climber Ski Sweater is super cute. I love the leggings too.
The sweater is so ridiculously soft (as are the leggings…) and double weight. It’s amazing quality.
They have great winter styles. I like the Women’s Granite Creek Windshirt.
I’ve demo’ed the windshirt. It’s one a good one — for outside or for layering.
Love all the great options.
So happy you like them!
They have such great stuff on their site!
They do. And the women’s line gets better with every season. It’s only a couple of years old. Check back in February for the new spring fashions!
Wow, these clothes look better than I could’ve imagined!
And seriously, they get better with every season. MK recently brought on a really good female designer. Funny how women like clothes designed by women!
Awesome patterns! I’d love a new outfit for our January Colorado ski trip!
I love unique patterns. Glad you do too! Have fun in January !
This would make the perfect Christmas gift for my brother and his girlfriend. They just moved out to Montana and can actually go skiing, I know they’ll be needing warm clothes.
Montana totally calls for warm clothes !
I love that grey shirt.
Agreed. I wear it to run, to the gym, to dinner with black pants.
love the FERA’s Etna Jacket in Cerulean Blue
Same! And I’m not really a fan of blue most of the time. But the color is so perfectly reflective of a bluebird winter sky!
I love all of the leggings… it’s so hard to stay warm and fashionable!
Agreed! Great point.
I love the Sweaty Betty tops and leggings. So much.
Have you checked out the other goodies on the Sweaty Betty site? The ski coats are TO.DIE.FOR!
Our local ski resorts opened early this year with the pre-Thanksgiving snow and cold temps. I would love the Slim and Trim Lucy Ski pants.
I wore the Lucy pants at Aspen on Friday. Then we had to drive straight to Summit County to have dinner with friends. Comfortable, even in the car!
Everything looks so warm! would love to wear any of it!
Thanks Cynthia!
The FERA Postcard Sweater looks great. 🙂
Thanks Leslie!
This would be amazing as the winter has begun!
Indeed, it has!
Thanks for the chance!
Of course!
I <3 the FERA sweaters! They are so cute and would look great with some Mountain Kahkis!
Good idea!
Lucy ski pants
Cute, right?
Wow – I Love ALL of those clothes – how would one decide which one to get???
Ask Santa for all of them!
