Alpine rescue: Keep the elements at bay with key pieces inspired by winter-sports style

The layers: If you ski, you'll already know that layering up is the best way to keep warm. Mix monochromes for the best effect

The sweater: Tradition still applies: Fair Isle knits are de rigueur on – and off – the slopes this season. The bolder the pattern, the better

The gilet: It's been a while since the gilet has been fashionable, and now it's back with a new edge – in leather

The quilted jacket: Down-filled coats don't have to look bulky or dated, and this season the best have suede or sheepskin details

The muted colours: Mixing knits and sporty pieces is a high-risk strategy, so stick to blacks, greys and subtle blues

Grooming: Dani Guinsberg using Kiehl's

Model: Will at Models 1
