PARK CITY, Utah – It stands to reason that even the most style-conscious among us would put fashion on the back-burner when the mercury dips well below the freezing mark. But when you’re guaranteed to have your picture taken — or just hoping to stand out in a crowd — cold toes and ice skids are small concessions.

With Park City once again playing host to the Sundance Film Festival, actresses, directors, film financiers, and film fans have descended on this picturesque winter enclave — bringing with them standout fashions. Unlike other big-name festivals that boast warm climates or close quarters, Sundance screenings are spread across Park City. While getting around this town, full of beautiful vistas, great slopes, and snowdrifts, is part of the fun, it is also a venture not to be taken in a light coat.

During Sundance — the 10-day festival runs through Sunday — Park City is filled to the brim with paparazzi, and more than a few camera-wielding fans. Looking photo-ready when 90% of your body is covered can be a difficult task, but festival-goers are proving that they are up to the challenge. Here, sleek motorcycle jackets top layers of wool and cashmere; knee-high boots, tucked into form-fitting pants, abound, and fur seems to be everywhere.

There is a playful element at Sundance: Actress Olivia Wilde showed up to Entertainment Weekly’s festival party in bright red boots, while actress Zoe Kravitz came to the same party donning a caramel-hued fedora. Meanwhile, director of the highly anticipated film “The Wackness,” Jonathan Levine, posed for photographers in a blue pompon hat; and actor Jack Black sported bottle-blond hair and a muscle T-shirt around town.

The animal rights group PETA has stationed a small band of protesters near Sundance screenings, but that hasn’t seemed to dissuade festival attendees from stepping out in hats, vests, and coats fashioned from animal furs. Actor Randy Quaid, for one, has been traversing town in a particularly flashy, ankle-length fur coat.

Even attendees opting for the comfort and practicality of puffer jackets and Ugg boots during the day tend to dress up at night — as they try to gain entrance to one of Park City’s converted nightclub spaces. Anticipating the scene inside, for some, seems to take precedent over conditions outside: Women in sleeveless dresses, and without stockings, hobble along in stilettos (many of them of the red patent leather variety) — desperately trying to avoid the ice patches lining the streets; meanwhile, some of their male counterparts brace against the cold night in only a hoodie to keep them warm.

With all of the miniskirts and exposed skin interspersed among the wool- and puffer coat-clad masses, the theme of the festival seems quite simple: Stay warm — or look good trying.
