There’s no debating it: Kyle Richards has style. While it's no surprise that a star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills can nail the rich-mom aesthetic we all covet, what impresses us is how accessible she makes it. This week, she dropped an Amazon Live guide to Aspen chic style that's packed with rich wintry textures and luxe-for-less buys.
One standout that she kept coming back to? Faux fur, which is definitely having a moment. When it comes to cold-weather accessories, nothing channels the rich-mom vibe quite like it. Below, you'll find some of Richards' favorites, and no, you don't need a rich-mom budget to get the look — these picks start at just $18.
Bring some elegance to your ski-chateau getaway (or your Starbucks drive-thru — no judgment here). This charming shrug exudes 1920s glamour. Elevate a wool trench by wrapping up in one of 16 rich colors — we love this burgundy shade, but you can go with winter white, sophisticated black or a fun animal print. Calling people "dahhhling" while you're wearing it? Totally optional.
As for Richards, she was gobsmacked by how authentic this shrug felt: "This literally feels like beaver … like chinchilla." Like the real deal but totally faux, with a reasonable price to match? We're into it.
Richards actually recommended a much pricier version of these plush, convertible mittens, but we're nothing if not committed bargain-hunters, and this dead-ringer set is $60 less. These will score you a seat at the rich-mom lunch table, leaving enough cash in your purse to buy a round of après-ski hot cocoa.
Just like Kyle's pick, these have a fold-over flap to allow your fingers to pop out when you need to check your phone or grab something from your wallet. Unlike her pick, these have over 250 five-star fans and come in 18 colors and prints.
Richards took a cue in snow-bunny chic from her stylish niece Nicky Hilton Rothschild. "My niece Nicky wore these in Aspen. If you don't want to mess up your hair … this is the way to go. So soft. Feels like a stuffed animal," Richards says.
These fuzzy cuties also made Oprah's 2024 Favorite Things list. Lined with luxurious velvet, they'll keep your ears toasty even in the most biting winds. A flexible, foldable headband ensures a comfy fit and lets you collapse them for easy stowing on the go. Choose from six colors.
If you've ever watched a Kyle Richards Amazon stream, you know that she's more passionate about some pieces than others. This parka-style overcoat is one of them. "So amazing, I love this so much. In person it looks really real … I'm worried people are thinking I'm wearing real fur. Really beautiful. This is really great, and I love the pockets."
We can't say we blame her — the billowy design has quilted, parka-style stitching that adds to its silhouette. This eye-catching option could be worn to a wedding or out for cocktails, but it gives a bit of an unexpected bad-girl vibe when paired with jeans. And the hood just makes us want to wrap ourselves up in its warmth. It's also up for grabs in blue, brown, white and camel.
Just pop "celebrities" and "Aspen" into your Instagram feed and we guarantee you'll see a handful wearing a teddy-style, mid-length coat just like this one. This Kyle Richards-approved version is a dead-ringer for a pricey Max Mara midi coat at about a $1,200 discount.
"Really cute! This is beautiful," Richards says, and we agree — it's got a bit of Scandi style that makes it very on-trend this winter. The oversized notch lapels give us Katie Holmes vibes, while the slant pockets give it a just-casual-enough feel that makes us want to reach for it every time we head out the door. Choose from four colors.
Richards says this faux leather and fur combo takes her "back to my mob wives vibe." But you don't need to marry into an organized-crime family to appreciate this Kenneth Cole design. The removable fur collar lets you switch from "kept-woman glam" to "edgy boss lady" in seconds. It also comes in black.
"I feel like this is honestly really cute. This is how I dress anyway, this is very much my Aspen vibe," Richards says. After all, who says a boss lady can't vacation in Aspen?
