The ski season is in full swing and you may be about to hit the piste. As well as the right technical equipment, you should also make sure that your winter wardrobe is brimming with style and versatility.
If you want to combine high-performance equipment with the latest fashion trends, take a look at our suggestions:
Embrace the latest looks
This season, skiwear designers are focussing on versatility and sustainability. Consider investing in cross-over apparel that allows for a seamless transition from the city streets to the mountain trails.
Pastel and bright colours remain popular with women and ensure that you are seen on the slopes. Retro and vintage ski suits also remain an integral part of fashion and can be complemented with belts, while bomber jackets and wide-legged ski trousers are on trend.
Men’s skiwear favours loose fits and muted tones that offer both comfort and a nod to 90s style.
Select high-performance gear
Investing in first-class equipment increases performance and safety. Ski boots should be lightweight, yet provide stable support and be lined for all-day comfort and support. The right size and fit is crucial and it is recommended to get professionally measured before buying new boots.
A helmet is a must for safety and should both meet safety standards and fit well. Some models have padded chin straps, goggle holders and removable inner shells for comfort and practicality.
You should also invest in a good pair of goggles to protect your eyes and improve visibility, especially on cloudy days.
Pack the essentials
If you’re preparing for a luxury ski trip, prioritize layering to adapt to different temperatures. High-quality base layers, insulating mid-layers and waterproof outerwear are crucial.
Don’t forget your thermal gloves and moisture-wicking socks to keep you warm, dry and comfortable throughout your holiday. Packing can involve a lot of luggage, but if you choose to travel with the Gulfstream G450, you’ll have enough room for all the essentials and more.
Navigate après-ski fashion
Après-ski attire has evolved and focuses on luxury and comfort. Chic outfits combine cosy elements with unmistakable style. Key pieces include fur-lined parkas, chunky sweaters and stylish snow boots.
Accessories such as oversized sunglasses and eye-catching scarves add a touch of glamour and ensure a seamless transition from the slopes to social settings.
Responsible shopping
Finally, when buying your ski equipment, look out for certifications such as the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) or the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) to ensure that your purchases come from ethical and sustainable sources.
This way, you can hit the slopes responsibly and help preserve the landscapes that make skiing so extraordinary.
