Tackling global dilemmas is what the World Economic Forum does best, and keen observers of the happenings at Davos, Switzerland, can definitely glean a sense of where the world might be heading. It’s also not a bad place to pick up a sense of mogul-appropriate winter wear.

“Dressing for Davos isn’t easy,” admitted Victoria Hitchcock, a Silicon Valley personal stylist, who helped a few attendees pack their bags for the conclave. “The elements make it a hard trip if you want to look lighthearted and effortless.” (Among her top pieces of advice? Multiple shoe options. “Your feet will get wet,” she said.)

For the most part, the technorati and other corporate titans turned out for the occasion looking sharp. There was Accenture’s Julie Sweet in a powder-pink power suit and Yidu Tech founder Gong Yingying in a glossy, cinch-waist puffer jacket, which she partnered with elegant pearls—perfect for a daytime conference followed by a moonlit dinner at the Panorama Hotel. And of course, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang came kitted out in polished leather.
