Olympian Piper Gilles Shares Her Off-Ice Essentials

Between competing in the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics and starring in the new Netflix docuseries Glitter & Gold, Piper Gilles has had a particularly packed schedule over the last few months. Since returning from Milan (where she earned a bronze medal for Team Canada), the figure skater has kept the momentum going—as she balances creative home projects with a slate of fashion collaborations that tap into her evolving personal style.

Here, she reveals what’s keeping her inspired beyond the rink.

Marimekko Maridenim Vaihe Unikko Shirt

“Fun fashion is key for me, and right now, I have my eyes on this button-down by Finnish brand Marimekko. Adorned with the label’s iconic Unikko pattern—a floral-inspired print that dates back decades—it’s in a satisfying dusty-rose hue that plays up classic casual denim.”

Mother Jeans

“When it comes to off-duty dressing, I gravitate toward Mother jeans. The fit is perfect and instantly makes me feel pulled together. I’m loving the return of the flare silhouette, and this pair has a seam down the front that elongates my short frame.”

Hillberg & Berk Axel Charm

“It’s been a joy watching Canadian jewellery label Hillberg & Berk grow and evolve over the past few years. The Team Canada Collection is incredibly special—12 percent of the sales is donated to our athletes. For obvious reasons, I’m partial to the brand’s Axel Charm.”

Rowen Rose Fall 2026

“I adore a good runway show, and Parisian brand Rowen Rose’s Fall 2026 collection is my current fixation. The line is timeless and feminine, with subtle 1920s inspiration—the hats, the structure, the textures!”

Kala Red Light Face Mask

“I take a multi-faceted approach to wellness, which, for me, means taking good care of my skin. This at-home treatment is my go-to for evening tone, smoothing fine lines and refreshing my complexion. It’s a ritual that I usually pair with journaling or meditation.”

Prada Cocoa Brown Suede Bag

“Prada was the brand that ignited my fashion obsession—it’s the pinnacle of Italian craftsmanship, and this bag is the ultimate example. Since the Olympics wrapped up in Milan, I’ve been exploring the fashion capital to see how street style is done.”

@ScoutDesignStudio on Instagram

“One of my favourite hobbies is giving old furniture a new life. I recently reupholstered my grandfather’s chaise, and it was such a meaningful project. For ideas, I follow Scout Design Studio on Instagram. They transform vintage pieces beautifully, honouring craftsmanship while keeping things fresh.”

Oura Ring

“The Oura Ring has become a super-helpful tool for listening to my body: It helps me track my sleep, recovery, readiness and even my cycle. It’s a gentle reminder to slow down when I need to and to take an intuitive approach to physical health, especially during intense training periods.”

Lululemon BeCalm Extra-Wide Leg Pant

“Right now, I basically live in the Lululemon BeCalm collection. The material is so buttery soft—when I get home from training, I don’t want to take it off. It’s the ideal uniform for comfort and support, whether I’m stretching, recovering or just unwinding.”

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in “Dressed to Chill”

“Nail art is one of my favourite ways to express my personality. I love bold polishes and playful patterns. It’s a small thing, but it makes me feel put together and authentically me.”

Giggly Squad Podcast

“Listening to this podcast feels like chatting with your funniest friends. Hosts Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner are hilarious and somehow manage to say what every girl is thinking. Whether I’m driving to the rink, stretching or just in need of a good laugh, Giggly Squad never fails to lift my mood.”
