Varley’s New Alpine Collection Is Perfect For Winter
The brand’s new Alpine collection has style mileage beyond the slopes
Winter dressing can often feel like a toss-up: cozy vs cool. Pragmatism vs polish. Shimmying and shivering vs bundled up and boring. Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to pick sides? Thanks to Varley, you don’t have to.
The premium performance brand has built a formidable business atop the foundations of its have-it-all sensibility. That spirit is shown off to irresistible effect with the new winter-ready Alpine capsule. While it’s been thoughtfully designed for life on the go at altitude, you don’t need to hit the slopes to enjoy the collection – or to scale new style heights.
Impressive versatility is a signature Varley move. Thanks to confidently understated styling, the brand has established itself as a non-negotiable ingredient in the fast-moving woman’s wardrobe. Founded in 2015 by husband-and-wife team Ben and Lara Mead, and operating between headquarters in London and Los Angeles, the geographical duality is echoed in the collection’s multi-faceted look and feel.
The Alpine capsule transcends the boundaries of traditional après-ski-wear, giving it appeal even if your winter doesn’t involve slopes or chalets. Boasting luxe layering pieces and go-the-distance outerwear, the collection is suitable for a variety of occasions, designed to support a multifaceted lifestyle and earn a place in your forever wardrobe.
“Further emphasizing Varley’s wear-everywhere appeal is this season’s excellent outerwear offering
”
What to expect? The same attention to detail, ultra-flattering design and luxurious finishes that have become a Varley signature. Note, for instance, the cuffed, knitted trousers, jersey combat pants and fine layering tops – all of which make for stylish, practical options on crisp winter days. Knits are particularly strong across the collection this season, too. A burgundy rollneck makes a striking statement when worn with the matching pants, while a slouchy zip-front, high-neck cardigan features a geometric intarsia pattern that calls to mind traditional Alpine designs. The knit-trimmed faux-shearling vest, meanwhile, is the ultimate layering piece. Thanks to its sophisticated, pared-back palette and considered pops of vibrant color, sub-zero style has never been easier.
Further emphasizing Varley’s wear-everywhere appeal is this season’s excellent outerwear offering. Styles to note include the ‘Payton’, a striking metallic maxi puffer coat, and the ‘Caitlin’ jacket, which is crafted from durable quilted ripstop. The relaxed style comes with a curved hem and hood, plus touches such as an adjustable cinched waist and elasticated cuffs, allowing the wearer to customize the fit and adapt the design.
Whether you’re on the slopes or the sidewalks, going on an adventure or hibernating at home, Varley has you covered this winter.
