Presenting This Season’s Super-Stylish Skiwear

Ski season is officially upon us. Excited? Obviously. Daunted? Possibly – after all, nailing your cold-weather closet can be as tricky as navigating a black run. These days, skiwear evokes an innate sense of glamour, but there is so much more to consider than your signature slope aesthetic: first and foremost, you need to focus on how your skiwear performs. So, here’s how to master your Alpine winter wardrobe – whether you’re heading off-piste or kicking back in the chalet.

Ski bunnies, rejoice: Goldbergh is delivering a sleek-and-chic uniform for the slopes this season. Master a streamlined look that’s ready for adventure in the monochrome ‘Snowball’ suit, which is crafted from stretch-shell padded with down for added warmth. Then, add the ‘Tiara’ wool-blend headband for the ideal finishing touch.

Elsewhere, Aztech Mountain’s ‘Super Nuke’ jacket boasts a host of thoughtful details, from insulating down to reflective trims for visibility. The hood is cut generously to accommodate a helmet, while the drawstring trim is rubber-trimmed to ensure it doesn’t ride up. The ‘Next to Skin’ base layer is an essential, too.

The influence that Maria and Willy Bogner have had on skiwear can’t be overstated, either. This red-hot look – the durable yet lightweight ‘Cami’ salopettes and graphic intarsia knit – exemplify the brand’s enduring focus on function-first designs that never compromise on style.

Moon boots? Check. Ski suit? Check. Multi-functional jacket? Check. Rudsak has everything you need to hit the slopes. The expertly engineered ‘Audrey’ belted jacket doesn’t just look great, it’s also made using recycled Stormshell fabric, ensuring it forms part of our winter NET SUSTAIN edit of consciously crafted pieces.

High performance meets high style (and high comfort) when it comes to the Fusalp ‘Clarisse’ ski suit, which is crafted from stretch-shell fabric and boasts a waterproof, breathable Perfortex coating. Meanwhile, its slim-fit ‘Judith’ turtleneck transitions seamlessly from the slopes to après-ski. Genius.

Montreal-based Mackage – an A-list favorite – is no stranger to helping its fans keep their cool in the cold. Cue the ultra-luxe ‘Penelopa’ sheepskin jacket, which features a double-stand collar that’s adept at dealing with temperatures as low as -20ºC.

The ultimate in après-ski chic, Gucci’s ice-cool collection is too good to save for the snow. Standouts include the iconic ‘Horsebit 1955’ bag, which has been given a high-altitude spin courtesy of shearling trims, plus a red-hot monogram canvas bomber – complete with detachable gilet and hood for trans-seasonal, multi-destination mileage.

Kicking back at the chalet? Lean in to the retro glamour of ski’s golden age (think Audrey Hepburn in Charade) with a playful knit. Jetset’s intarsia ‘St. Moritz’ sweater is just the ticket.

Finally, for a new take on a classic, turn to We Norwegians’ statement ‘Setesdal’ sweater. Crafted from merino and cashmere wool, this toasty turtleneck is deliberately oversized for maximum snuggle factor – team with the brand’s butter-soft cashmere balaclava for extra coziness.
