The 3 Essential Pieces for St. Moritz (Because You Can’t Wear Your Plane Outfit to the Kronenhof)
Packing for the Engadin is a negotiation between nostalgia and performance. Here is the curated edit of what makes the cut for a weekend at 1,856 meters. St. Moritz demands a wardrobe that speaks two languages fluently: 'Sport' and 'Splendor'.
The air here is thinner, but the dress code is infinitely stricter. You need gear that can handle the sheer drop of the Corviglia black runs at 10am, and the sheer scrutiny of the Badrutt’s Palace terrace at 2pm. It is not enough to be warm; one must be relevant.
We have edited the chaos of the suitcase down to the three non-negotiable items that define the "Alpine Minimalist" aesthetic this season.
The Tech Upgrade : The Bombshell Luxe Jacket
The Why: Nostalgia is cute, but hypothermia is not. When the wind picks up on the Piz Nair, you need current technology. This piece is the workhorse. It’s structured enough to look tailored at lunch, but technical enough to handle high-speed carving without flinching. The Bombshell Luxe isn't a color choice; it's camouflage for the blue hour.
The Silhouette : The Katze Suit
The Why: A bulky silhouette is the enemy of elegance. St. Moritz was practically built for the streamlined look. A proper fitted one-piece suit ensures you look aerodynamic even when standing perfectly still waiting for your Glühwein.
The Transition Layer : The Après Vous Turtleneck
The Why: The most dangerous time of day is the transition from slope to Après. You need a layer that works without the jacket. This knit is heavy enough to act as outerwear on a sunny terrace, but soft enough to recover in by the fire.
