While winter’s frigid temperatures may deter some from filling out their social calendar, the fashion world stops for no one—not even Mother Nature. Besides, what’s a few extra layers to brave the cold compared to enjoying upscale food and drink in a chic ensemble at one of the season’s most exclusive fêtes while socializing with the NYC fashion set’s brightest stars? If for nothing else, think of the Instagram pics. Luckily, many brands have opted to take advantage of the weather and jet over to après-ski-appropriate destinations to keep the fun going.
