Are you heading to the mountains this winter? Lucky you! Whether you’re into skiing, snoboarding, snowshoeing, or cozy nights by the fireplace, high-altitude vacations are always an unforgettable experience. But to make the most of it, you need to be warmly equipped! A good winter outfit should be warm, breathable, and comfortable, adapting to all situations. Check out our tips for choosing the right winter clothing and how to opt for versatile pieces that work for all your activities, from morning to night.
1. Insulating Layers: The Secret to a Good Base
To tackle the mountain cold, there’s no secret: you need to layer up! The trick is to focus on three essential layers: a thermal base, an intermediate layer for insulation, and an outer layer that protects you from wind and moisture. Each of these plays a crucial role in keeping you warm.
Sure! Here's the translation: warm.

The thermal base is designed to keep you warm without weighing you down or making you sweat too much. The idea is to choose a thermal t-shirt equipped with technologies that can regulate temperature while wicking away moisture, like UNIQLO's HEATTECH. Not only are HEATTECH t-shirts super comfortable, but they also offer multiple levels of warmth depending on your needs (classic, extra warm, and ultra warm).
On the slopes, they help you stay warm while allowing sweat to escape, keeping you comfortable no matter how intense your activity is. Off the slopes, after skiing or even for a daytime stroll, HEATTECH t-shirts can be easily worn under a sweater or a more elegant jacket for a casual look, all while staying warm. Their simple cut and neutral colors make it easy to...easily integrate it into all your chic outfits!
2. The puffer jacket: warmth and style
No matter what activity you choose, the puffer jacket is definitely the must-have piece of winter. Ultra-light or seamless, UNIQLO puffer jackets offer excellent thermal insulation while being thin and easy to carry. They are perfect for breaks in the mountains or après-ski moments.

If you love zooming down the slopes, the Ultra Light Down jacket offers great freedom of movement and makes for an ideal mid-layer. You can wear it over your thermal base layer to brave cold conditions without sacrificing comfort. In the evening, the seamless down jacket becomes your go-to piece to stay warm while maintaining a modern and stylish silhouette. Its sleek cut and seamless design mean it fits perfectly into a casual outfit for a leisurely stroll outside.
3. Technical Pants: Comfort and Protection
Choosing a good pair of ski or hiking pants is essential to ensure both comfort and performance. They should be sufficiently insulating and water-repellent to protect you from the cold and moisture, while also offering great freedom of movement for all your activities.

After skiing, you can also wear these pants for a stroll under the evening snow or even for a dinner out. Their modern and elegant cut pairs easily with more casual outfits while keeping you feeling comfortable and warm all day long.
4. Accessories: Don't Leave Anything Exposed to the Cold
Because having a good ski outfit is just as important as having great accessories to stay warm, we can only recommend investing in gloves, hats, and more!
Warm hats and scarves of high quality! Accessories are not to be overlooked when it comes to staying cozy. UNIQLO has even developed its HEATTECH range to include accessories, providing you with extra protection against the cold.HEATTECH gloves can easily be worn on the slopes, under your ski gloves, or as your main pair of gloves at other times, as they are warm and thin. To complete your look, choose an elegant wool or ribbed knit beanie. It will match all outfits, adding both warmth and style.
