SKI SEASON:

SKI ESSENTIALS FOR WINNING ON THE SLOPE

WORDS: MARNI ROSE MCFALL

The incoming cold front can only mean one thing – it’s time to hit the slopes. That’s right, ski season is back, and the looks are better than ever. No longer the reserve of the alps, in 2024, skiwear is seeping into our everyday winter wardrobes. Puffer jackets are our new go-to come cold city days and for those country pursuits. Larger-than-life goggles? A must. OTT moon boots? We’re just as likely to be wearing them on the streets as in the snow. From ski jackets to thermal layers, this is everything you need for ski season and beyond.

1. BEST SKI JACKETS

The building blocks of any ski kit? A hardworking ski jacket that’ll look just as good on the slopes as it will at the après ski. You can make a statement with Moncler Grenoble. Their Cerniat Ski Jacket in powder greys and neon greens is a big energy buy. Have a multi moment with Perfect Moment’s three-tone Zeferino Duvet jacket. Or keep things neutral with a total white out from Kjus.

Moncler Grenoble’s Performance Ski Pants were made for bombing blacks (or blues, we’re not judging).

3. BEST SKI LAYERS

When it comes to skiing, there’s a little more to it than the main attractions. Invest in solid layers – think soft hooded tops and high-performance thermals – that’ll give you added warmth underneath and look good hanging at the mountain-top bars. lululemon’s City Sweat crewneck is sleek and simple, making it the perfect base layer, while Perfect Moment have gone a little louder with their monochrome Thermal Zip Top.
