Ski season is here, and we’re scouring for ways to keep warm whilst staying stylish and maintaining functionality when hitting the slopes (and the après-ski of course). Luckily, there’s a myriad of means to bring sartorial shrewdness into our skiwear, whether it is with a sharp ski jacket paired with the perfect pair of ski trousers or salopettes, or perhaps by indulging in a head-to-toe luxury designer ski outfit.
If none of the above fulfil your idea of the perfect ensemble for a winter holiday in the mountains, consider the option that combines all of them together – the ski suit. A nod to the eighties (think bold prints, bright colours – neon if you really wanted to get noticed, matched with colour-coordinated headbands and ski goggles), we’re loving this retro skiwear style right now. Taking it down a notch from the gaudy eighties, this season we’re looking to invest in a ski suit that is comfortable and cosy, yet still elegant and practical. All in one, you’ll ensure ultimate style with minimal effort.
Below, we've gathered a selection of the best ski suits that will achieve that warming, luxurious retro vibe we’re looking for – on and off the slopes.
