"The Sorel x Aspen Collection updates four of the shoe company's best-selling winter boots with alpine style. The men's and women's Caribou snow boot is upgraded with Gore-tex waterproofing; the synthetic Sherpa lining is replaced with genuine shearling; and the suede body is exchanged for full-grain leather. For women, the Ona Avenue Alpine Boot and the Joan Frwd Cozy Lux add touches of femininity and opulence with ribbon laces and gold hardware. Prices range from $150 to $500."

"Arc'teryx, the high-end outdoor apparel company based in Canada, has teamed up with Songtsam Resorts-which operates boutique hotels and retreats across Tibet and Yunnan, China- on a multi-year collection geared for the high-altitude and snow-capped conditions of the Himalayas. The Namtso Blue collection, named after Tibet's sacred Namtso Lake, included a range of lightweight and breathable jackets in a gradient color palette and a flowing knot emblem inspired by Tibetan nomadic culture."
