What to Wear Aprés Ski.. or anywhere.   When schussing the slopes in Europe, the alpine vibe is very popular, with Nordic sweaters and crisp piped-wool jackets setting the style stage.  It is that delightful time in late afternoon when the lifts are are closed, many skiers will keep their ski suits on for the festivities .. but we prefer a quick change into a cozy, classic ensemble of jeans, oversized turtleneck sweater, boots and fur or faux fur vest.  Meanwhile great resorts in the States have an iconic Western atmosphere that lends itself to casual cowgirl wear… something more rustic.   So of course, we consulted American fashion icon, Ralph Lauren, who, after celebrating his 50th year is still creating the chicest Western inspired fashion.   Here he blends Alpine and Americana perfectly.   Well played, Ralph. Well played.   Silk, wool, linen blend. Breathable, nubby, textural, gorgeous.   No signs of wear.
