The Go-To Brands For Stylish Skiwear
From sporty all-in-ones and luxurious knits to the must-have boot of the season, it’s time to cozy up and buckle down on slope-side style
As the longer nights roll in and Christmas twinkles from every direction, it’s easy to be consumed by the percolation of party looks for the festive agenda. But we are looking one step further – out towards the powdery white slopes and crisp air of the ski season. Whether it’s your first time on the mountains or you’re a seasoned skiing professional, consider this your guide to all the gear that will see you through your adventures in style.
Mackage
Meticulously crafted to withstand the harsh Canadian winter, Montreal-based brand Mackage has been a leader in luxury outerwear since its inception in 1999. Focusing on sleek designs with functionality at its core and using only the finest materials for insulation – leather, wool, and down – Mackage’s collection is both timeless and practical. While the monochromatic offering acts as the chicest form of camouflage on the slopes, it’s the powdery blue ski jacket that has us reaching for our snow boots in a desperate bid to get outdoors. Perfectly icy, water-resistant, breathable, and technically considered, the stylish design of Mackage’s ‘ICYLN-R’ jacket is your one-stop ski-jacket shop.
Sorel
Synonymous with colder weather, adventurers, and bold statements, Sorel’s hard-wearing and hard-working boots have become something of a cult classic. Another Canadian brand that is rooted in the outdoors and prides itself on purposeful products, the handcrafted waterproof shells, trek-heavy soles, and moisture-wicking linings of Sorel’s iconic boots keep you warm and dry in the harshest of climates. Keep the ski theme alive after your time in the snow by pairing these with tough denim and an oversized knit.
Aztech Mountain
Form and function are at the heart of Aztech Mountain – the performance sportswear company rooted in skiing. Founded by Heifara Rutgers and his husband David Roth in 2013, the label was born out of a lifelong love of skiing and a desire to blend the worlds of durable mountain gear with stylish city wear. Having both spent substantial time in Aspen, the brand celebrates the colorful and dynamic heritage of the skiing town. From vibrantly printed puffer jackets to bright separates, Aztech Mountain gives you reason to feel joyful on and off the slopes.
We Norwegians
Merino wool is at the center point of We Norwegians and is used as a tool to intertwine sportswear with luxury. The brand’s ethos is founded on a belief that you should feel good in clothes, even when enduring the most extreme of sports. Alpine-inspired sweaters, directional ski suits and slogan knits are at the heart of the brand’s fashion offering. If you’re after skiwear that feels luxe, looks luxe, and can emulate life on the slopes long after you’ve left them, look no further.
