What to wear on the slopes has always meant more than function – our skiwear has to deliver in terms of performance, but it also has to look good. Winter’s most glamorous sport has long been the preserve of the affluent style set, and images of Audrey Hepburn and Princess Diana in their sunglasses and salopettes remain on the moodboards of luxury brands such as Moncler and Gucci. If, like us, you’re busily researching your next ski trip, you’ll probably also be thinking about which brands and pieces are trending now. Whether you’re heading to Switzerland or the French Alps, you’ll find our edit of high-performance and chalet-chic skiwear here.
If you’re unsure where to start, the old guard are still delivering STYLE AND DURABILITY – Moncler and Fusalp are popular with the most glamorous skiers for good reason. For a less traditional take, make a beeline for Aztech Mountain and Jet Set, which are both favourites among a cool ski crowd. Perfect Moment is still the FASHION GIRL BRAND OF CHOICE, loved for its VINTAGE-INSPIRED SILHOUETTES. Look to Nordic labels for dependable, aesthetically-pleasing pieces that really keep out the cold; Holzweiler and We Norwegians are current go-tos.
Although finding stylish skiwear, like ski pants and puffers, is key, don’t forget your base layers – Uniqlo’s Heattech extra warm cashmere-blend tops and T-shirts bring a budget-friendly slice of luxury to those all-important foundations. This season’s balaclava trend is perfect for the slopes, and you’ll find plenty of options across the high street (see our H&M pick above) and in the high-end space. Give trending faux fur jackets extra milage and utilise them in apres-ski settings.
