The Altitude Edit

03 Dec 2025

A new definition of Colorado cool

The air’s thinner up here—and so is the line between rugged and refined. This season’s edit leans into texture and tone, where wool, leather, and cashmere meet clean silhouettes and effortless layering. These are pieces made for movement and ease, grounded in the Rockies but ready for anywhere. The palette pulls from the landscape—stone, clay, shadow, and snow—with just enough shimmer to catch the light above 5,430. It’s not about dressing up or down; it’s about dressing with intent. Each look proves that mountain style can be sleek, urban, and undeniably modern—style with altitude and attitude to match.
