Wearing a miniskirt on same the day of a blizzard might not be the first wardrobe choice most people would make. But Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim<\/a> isn\u2019t most people\u2014and, besides, she\u2019s more than used to a little cold.<\/p>\n

Fresh out of the 2026 Winter Olympics<\/a>, Kim\u2014who earned a silver medal for the Women\u2019s Snowboard Halfpipe event\u2014touched down in New York City just in time for a historic Northeast blizzard. Rather than let the weather dampen her spirits, Kim showed out in two looks that felt reminiscent of spring.<\/p>\n

She pulled the first outfit from Thom Browne\u2019s spring 2026 runway collection. The look consisted of a white miniskirt with triangular strips of navy blue, red, and white striped material, fabricated to appear like pleats. Up top, the preppy theme continued with a light-blue collared blouse, a beige fitted blazer, and a red-and-white diagonal striped tie. She finished it off with a brown-and-white handbag, white pumps, and long white varsity socks.<\/p>\n

Kim previously opened up about her mindset heading into the 2026 Games in an interview for Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/a>\u2019s September 2025 issue<\/a>. \u201cI just want to go back to loving it again,\u201d she said. \u201cI really got to feel that this past season. I loved being out there. I was having so much fun at the competitions, and that\u2019s a really rare feeling when you\u2019ve done something for so long and under so much pressure. It\u2019s really easy to lose that love.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2 min read Wearing a miniskirt on same the day of a blizzard might not be the first…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":144350,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[567,60575,569,568,9,56,63,65,64,60574,56702],"class_list":{"0":"post-144349","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-content-type-news","9":"tag-contentid-f7f4e494-11f4-4051-9387-27954d296cb6","10":"tag-displaytype-standard-article","11":"tag-locale-us","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-ny","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-nyc-headlines","16":"tag-nyc-news","17":"tag-shorttitle-chloe-kim-braves-the-nyc-blizzard-in-style","18":"tag-subsection-celebrity-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=144349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144349\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/144350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=144349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=144349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=144349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
