Ski In Style
While some may prefer to brave the elements in full gear, you can prepare for the ski season in style. With a couple of key pieces of equipment, you can emulate the fashionable ski lifestyle of an era when elegance and style were paramount.
For starters, you need a skiing bag. The design of the bag should be classy yet functional to store all your essential ski gear. The luxury manufacturers that make such bags are Burberry, Dior, Ralph Lauren, and Saint Laurent. Each bag brand has designed a stylish and functional bag that will allow you to hit the slopes in style.
Jackets And Blazers
Even if you are not a fan of cold weather sports, you must own a ski jacket. The design of the jacket should be distinctive and elegant, featuring the Swedish flag or the Italian flag as the primary design element. Other fashionable choices are the British flag, the French flag, or the Swiss flag.
The best place to get your jacket tailored is at a small, independent clothing store. They will know how to make your jacket fit perfectly, and they will give you the personal attention you need to feel happy and comfortable.
In the same way, you need a blazer. The blazer should be stylish and classic with a tailored fit that accentuates the silhouette of the jacket it is paired with. The best-quality pieces can be found at high-end retailers such as Nordstrom and Gucci.
Shorts And Tights
For men, skiing shorts and swimming trunks are essential for the water sports enthusiast. Made from lightweight but durable materials, the shorts should fit snugly around your waist but not be overly constricting. The best shorts for skiing are designed with an elasticized drawstring, allowing you to regulate the fit. The choice of either white or black is a fashionable one; you can also get them in pastel colors such as cream or pale green.
For women, thermal shorts are the most practical choice. Made from a heavy fabric with water-repellent (Dwr) coating to keep the body heat in and the cold out, these shorts are durable enough to withstand multiple ski seasons and are stylish enough to be worn even in the summer.
Panties And Bras
For men, skiing panties are a must if you are planning to hit the slopes in the near future. The best choice is the French brand Leisure that makes thick, durable fabric that provides better comfort while skiing. Some skiers prefer to wear them under their ski jacket to keep their arms free for skiing. However, if you are planning to stay in one place for the duration of the ski season, you can get away with not wearing them under your jacket. The best panties for skiing are designed with a high waistband to accentuate the shape of the body and with a light texture that is ideal for keeping the body heat in.
For women, the best choice is the French brand Lingerie that makes high-quality pieces that are both beautiful and practical. The best panties for skiing are designed with an all-over print in either a leopard or a tiger motif. Regardless of which option you choose, they will not go out of style this season or in the coming winter season.
Ski Boots
The last piece of equipment you need for a stylish ski trip is the ski boots. The best choice is the French brand Alpinestyle that makes lightweight, flexible boots that feature a soft interior and a durable exterior. The best choice for summertime skiing is the Alpinestyle Ventilator, which features two large pivoting vents that pull in fresh air and let out stale air for improved ventilation.
Over-All Look
To complete your stylish ski outfit, you need a skiing hat, goggles, and a scarf to keep your neck warm. The design of the hat should feature a distinctive pattern associated with skiing either in the form of a logo or in the shape of a ski mask. The best goggles for skiing are the French brand Alpinestyle that makes lightweight and flexible goggles that stay on your head during the whole skiing session.
Final Touches
For men, to finish off your stylish and warm ski gear, you need a woolen mittens and a woolen scarf. For women, a chic and cosy hat, earmuffs, and a shawl are essential to keep you warm on your trip to the mountain. The best choice for men is the French brand Faux-Colbert that makes elegant but warm mittens with cashmere or merino wool interiors and stylish wooden or metal arms. For women, the best choice is the French brand Lingerie that makes thick, semi-stretchable fabric in a variety of patterns.
Once you have filled your bag with all the equipment you need for a stylish trip to the mountain, the last thing you need is a cocktail or dinner at the end of the day. At this point, you can sit back and relax, knowing you have all that you need to have a good time. Besides, a warm cocktail by the fireplace in a comfortable lodge or restaurant is the quintessential symbol of a successful ski holiday.
To follow the elegant lifestyle of a true winter sports aristocrat, you can now purchase the accessories listed above at some of the most prestigious fashion retailers, such as Nordstrom and Gucci, where they will fit in perfectly with the style of the other luxury brands that provide ski equipment.
